YouTube - Subaru impreza sti Rb320 being chased by M-Coupe evo

But you have a Spec C mate, so don't look the other way and give the Beemer a good whooping. To be fair I reckon the RB320 was just having a play and purposely sliding on bends that he could have clearly hit the apex and taken a faster lines.

Don't think it was a proper race at all....

My STI PPP cant keep up with an S54 engined Z3M Coupe in a straight line. They are seriously rapid, 2 of my friends own them. Handle nicely too but obviously dont grip as much as mine. He has no trouble keeping up with me on B roads.

I'm sure I commented on that Video, I don't think that's a M Coupe behind!

The car following had a much better driver. Its not just the car that does it around a track. The Scoob is all over the place in the corners.

This is indeed VERY old.

But IIRC the chasing car was an Aerial Atom,given away by the fact it was tested at the same track at the same time by Evo mag - and it sounds like one.

Oh,and the RB320 driver was obviously having fun with the sliding,it wasn't the car doing that but the driver!!!!

Rubbish.

Just an RB320 being filmed from the rear, with him drifting a bit in the corners for effect.

Ok in Terminators original post the chase car in the vid in question is not an M coupe

In mine it was a vid of the M Coupe chasing the RB, which was why i posted it to highlight the difference, whoever put it on Youtube copied the wrong text

Look here, the GT40 rep sounds stunning and gives the cateratom thing something to think about on the straights

Next you'll be quoting some highly modified Impreza as being unlikely to get hammered by a Z4. Nobody in the history of buying Z4Ms has ever paid £41k for one - more like £36k at their worst point.
