Whats with this habit of bringing up old school threads?! FWIW 20m is a significant win over the range described. That a good 4 saloon car lengths - my old vts would hold on to a scooby better than that over that sort of range.
Love GCollier response (I think he still posts here these days) - so flawed it untrue. I'm sure he's never had a spirited run or broken the speed limit in the 5 years since

I really must say that I wasn't able to leave him far behind. Maybe I cannot drive but in straight line from 20km/h to about 180km/h I only managed to get about 20m before him. (He was driving behind me and was maybe helped by me pushing the air away).
I have a MY98 with downpipe and back box mods.
I have to say this really p***** me off!!!
So what could I do to leave him far behind.....???????

about it thought we would fix it up good 
So we had loads of work done in the end it was up at 193Bhp
had nearly everything done apart from the exhaust and the chip and we sold it before we could do them lol
It was a fast car and the only thing that let it down was the full power steering it was like drving on an ice rink and doing so very fast
Apart from that it was a great car and very fast and for the money there not that bad either
