Haha! That is mental!

The world seemed a bit slower in the left lane

Just to redress the balance a bit...

Did the Tuscan driver come over and say...



"Dude I almost had you"?

[dbv8]

I hate that film

If you think my cars nippy you should try racing something like a Jago Jeep!

That ain't no Tuscan S. No splitter, no rear spoiler, and changing gear at 40mph. Full fat S is changing at 55 to 60. I've a well sorted 500, and it feels like a bus compared to the Tuscan.
But that Nitrous is an interesting thing though!!

I'd still take the Tuscan S over the Chimp - looks better and sounds better.

[dbv8]

Sounds better! How very dare you.
It does look nice tho. Maybe it was a Tuscan 2, i forget.
All i do know is that it was very healthy and running mid 12's with a 12.1 at best.

[Trainspotter]

As said before that isn't an 'S' unless the owner has removed the front splitter and rear spoiler. It is a Mk1 and most definitely slower than your Chim

still it takes you over 10seconds to catch the good old Griff 500.

[dbv8]

Dom? gone over my head sorry.
If that Tuscan took 10 seconds to catch a Griff then it wouldnt catch me over a mile even if i did max the revs out about 165.
Ive yet to prove it but i reckon i could do a standing mile in under 30 secs.

22 Ugly chocolate finger Tuscan 12.473 31.191 162.68
11 Absolutely stunning Griffith 12.495 32.133 153.86


The 1/4qtr would been even more interesting if i'd had a rolling start as well
