I was tootling around 2day and a brand new M3 zoomed past me (sound great don't they!).... so i naturally decided to do some pacing. I only have a standard turbo WRX03 and I was astonished to find I was keeping up with it at a close distance. I'd love to have seen that drivers face ;-)

I bet you STi owners would really whoop is *** though!

343bhp and around 11 sec 100.

You did well mate, but im not sure if he would have been gunning it. Those things are stupidly quick.

Would think an STI would have problems too. I would even think the PPP STI having a little problem.

This has to be a windup, don't rise to it people.

Next mate you'll be beating a 911 turbo

Was most likely wet and he was taking it a bit easier than normal. I was having problems today in my rwd saph very greasy couldnt get traction sometimes today up untill 4th.

fastfrank

Remember.... i never beat him.... i just kept up with him! lol

fastfrank

yeah it was raining hard too

fastfrank

second thoughts about this. maybe he was taking it easy. I had a dual with one when I had my VFR800 motorbike and he gave me a good run 4 my money.

f it's anything like my rwd cos you may as well park up lol if it's raining hard lol. You dont get anywhere very fast lol.

people seem to read stats, and think "his" is 14.7 secs to 100, and "mine" is 13.7, I'd kill him.
In real life theres absolutley nothing in it, perhaps a car length if that. IMHO

A second or so 0-100 time is easily lost or gained in the gear change for non-race trained drivers. Not that I'm trained, but I have done some rallying before.

1 second at 100mph is about 45m.
