Default best car your scoobs left standing

just a bit of fun an sorry if its been done to death folks

Just wondered whats the best car you've had a play with (on private roads obviously)

you know the sort of scenario traffic light GP or the tailgater that looses badly.

Ive not came up against anything special. Coupla sharp suited types in honda s2000s and audi s3's that have been humbled by my cheeky wee sti wagon.

any of you big power scoobyneters embarrassed super car type motors

Depends how private a road you mean, Number of Ferraris and Porsches on both Brands and the Ring, however was p*ssed all over by Saxo at Brands driven by a teenager at the same time as I was blowing a 458 away in the corners.

On the ring I was overtaking a 430 while at the same time a Pug 306 left us both for dead!

Out here in croatia they have these old communist block zastavas, slightly bigger than an old mini, and fito's a bit like a fiat 500 but smaller and some of them can do a 10 second 1/4 mile, one fito regularly wins the local hill climb and sprint competitions putting evo's and porkers to shame.

Where's RS_Matt when you need him

I know Bigarf "plays" with superbiles for fun...

I've left a Focus RS in my dust, but need my licence for work, so no silly stuff...

dunx

P.S. It's down to risk, why would a supercar owner be bothered with a "chav in a Subaru" ?

Fiat Seicento 1.1i 'Sporting' on my way home from work.

I was then chinned by a (hired) white Ford Transit. There is nothing faster on the roads, especially at 4:00pm on a Friday.

yeah but when some trumpets tryn to bully his way past or as soon as the road opens onto two lanes an they swing out for a big overtake or similar and conditions allow etc etc (checkin hindsight police arent watching) then I feel duty bound to floor it

Just had a cracker!!
Sat in the outside lane behind a Corsa van at a set of traffic lights waiting to turn left at the next junction. Suited prat in a Vauxhall Insignia pulls up, next to Corsa van, on the inside lane. On the way past he eyes me an my car up giving me the 'pfffft down the nose look'
Lights go green and Insignia man pulls off and darts into the outside lane (in front of the corsa van) to turn right. He floors it up this NSL single carriage way whilst I'm stuck behind this Corsa. He catches up traffic and so we catch him up too.
Hes got 5 cars in front of him.......then the road opens up in to approx a mile of arrow straightness Insignia man floors it and starts overtaking the first two cars in the row, whilst I start overtaking the Corsa. He then pulls in after passing two cars, and I overtake the van, the two cars hes past, him and the other 3 cars in one go I felt smug to say the least

Was racing a renault clio Sport and it kept up with me all the way to 140, think it was the 225bhp model. Fast little F*cker.
Got done by a Citreon Ax at Santa Pod, not sure what he had for an engine apart from it going like the Enterprise Starship..!

Transmission loss is against you. The vxr is savage in the right hands and if tuned is a very fast car.
