Four years ago, I had my standard MY97 Turbo and a mate had his new M3 Evo.
I was not too bothered about a race as I naturally assumed if he had spent £20000 more than me I would be embarassed, right?
Lights are soon to change, he builds up the revs and I am thinking about dialling in about 4000 revs and having a go.
Absolutely no chance. I only needed about 1200 as he was sitting with his car engulfed in clutch smoke. Fantastic. £20000 wisely saved thought I.
If anyone witnessed the M5 at SPod two weeks ago, this appeared to do exactly the same thing. If I had paid £60000 for a 400bhp saloon I would expect a standing quarter better than 19 seconds!!

Mulder,
where you the 200sx with 400 horses at SPOD the other week?
The one that done me by about .15s? Not very stealthy looking with the split rims and stickers and all, but still v quick.

What did that 200sx look like? I'll see if he's on the board.
