Just keep saying it is lmaooooo. Remember just because a car has the same bhp or more doesn't mean its faster its all about how the power is put down. When you put conering into it then its a whole different matter, you have 4wd and we can power through corners lol.

Also power to weight ratio plays a huge part too.

Your car is faster than every other car on the road, except for any white 1.7 Astra diesel van, which is officially the fastest vehicle on earth.

However fast I'm going, there's always one right up my rear bumper trying to get past!

Lol. All about power to weight and how it puts it down. Years back I had a stripped out metro gti that weighed as much as a fart with a highly tuned 1.4 twin cam lump, absolutely flew and I blew off quite a few scoobs, cossies etc with it.

I agree though, a hire car is without doubt the fastest car in the world!
