The Traffic Light Grand Prix..............Funny start grids you have seen/been in.
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!!
