sorry thought andy said his car was faster! not bad for an "alround car" and just goes to show how much rcm improved from sso to totb, then theres timeattack so does that mean zen is the fastest? how confusing for some.

Sorry, my mistake, I should have said WAY quicker

Quicker as in accelerates faster and achieves a higher top speed in a shorter time and distance.
I find this is generally a better indicator of power than a coned 30 second slalom circuit

Coming second on the handling circuit at SSO isn't bad for someone who can't take corners is it

No probs mate, horses for courses, I 'll never know how you hang onto those things at that acceleration rate on 1 wheel I struggle to hold it with all 4 on the ground !
It was someone else that thinks my car doesn't do corners...... he is clearly deluded

I'm cool with that Their WRC suspension cost more than my whole car

Just surprised it couldn't catch my old car in the T/A series, never mind, on a 30 second cone track its a winner, horses for courses indeed

Perhaps I'm mistaken but this thread started out as lighthearted banter between subaru V bike, nothing to do with totb, the rcms car or your apparent issue with my cars handling Can you stop taking it so seriously and let us get back to that banter please ?
