You spend money on holidays and all that other crap, we are car enthusiasts we enjoy cars, we dont care about depreciation in the same light you dont care of the money you blew on a week's worth of memories on a beach, what we have is for life

Maybe he's right though and I would be more subdued the spectacle of a grown man p1ssing himself isn't something I'd relish.

wasnt this thread supposed to be about mg zs ?
i dont really understand ??so triple og has a fast car that a zs could never hope to race ,well so what theres always a faster car somewhere
i have already said it but i have never known anyone wanting to imitate a scooby wth their zs ,i think in fact its the subaru owners who come up with this in their heads because they dont like the fact that a zs in blue looks a little like their scooby to the untrained eye. I would happily go on track with any uk standard wrz or classic turbo but you would only see me about once every ten minutes as i came round to lap you,my zs lapped combe in 1.26 repeatedly on standard brakes ,suspension ,tyres etc with just a full zorst and induction on my first ever track day,just because a car is a few years old doesnt mean it cant be great.There are many cars a few years old that with a little tinkering can become real track day greats ,the 205 gti for example.

I did not say it was one of the 5 best FWD cars ever. I said, and it is true, that it has one of the best FWD chassis ever. You might think it makes you look big and clever to knock Rover and in many aspects you would be right, but the chassis engineers certainly polished a turd when it came to the ZS' chassis.
Congratulations btw for the only post of yours I've ever seen that didn't suffer from retarded schoolboy spelling and grammar. Makes the whole experience that much more pleasurable.

there is no doubt that th ZS it is a decent car, it's styling however is there to mimic the scoob and the evo, both of which are in some form a rally descendent. I'm not saying that they a rally cars, they are far from it however that is where their breeding has stemmed from hence the wing, flared arches, 2litre turbo lumps, awd etc. The ZS however is not a rally descendent and the cosmetic attributes aren't deserved or synonymous with the brand.
Rabid: please get your head around the fact there are bugeye owners out there and they love their cars, like their are x5 owners out there that love theirs. Each with a different criteria for their needs catered for by their choice in car. Your petty abuse has no place on what we want to be a civilised car discussion.
MG Driver: I am sure the ZS is very adaptable at being a track day car, all the best with your chosen path
. There are faster cars and there are better handling cars but like you chose the ZS as your motor, I have chosen an STi and we both will encounter better and worse cars during our respective ownerships. I have no grief with MG's, rover however dont get me started on

Thats was the point I was trying to get across however alloy just explained it better....
Like I said ZS drivers, don't get touchy....and mg driver read my post again.
This thread was me saying not to compare to mine......You'd have to spend a lot of money to get close to me on a track.......
Bored or repeating myself now......

Anyway back on topic I'm starting to think that maybe cripple'og really hasn't got a clue. A bugeye STI is categorically not a good track day car, it's AWD for a start, is to heavy and understeers like a bitch. A ZS would have you for breakfast and spit out the leavings. An AX would be more than capable of humiliating you as well, you obviously know nothing.

Understeer is a result of moronic drivers not appreciating the dynamics of the vehicles and believing that awd will go round any corner without braking. I think you'll find awd is great round a track, look at the Tsbuka time attack cars

Alfa Arna- a datsun cherry with italian electrics- a well known, widely accepted disaster of a car.
Morris Ital- it's a marina with italian design flair- actually it doesn't have ANY design flair.
Bugeye Impreza- brought in to replace the succesful 'classic' Impreza the bugeye failed by dint of looking like an old toyota corrola (but not as handsome) and being slower than the model it replaced. EVO had these figured at nearly 19 seconds to 100. Subaru killed it off prematurely to save face and bring back some sales.
Some things are just ****.
