mitsubishi lancer wouldn't let me pass this morning
 

Everytime I accelerated - he did too. No chance at all for me to overtake him on the SV.

Made me feel like I'm riding a scooter.

I think they feel they have a point to prove "My car is as fast as a bike" kind of thing.

I once had one (Mitsubishi Evo again) try and keep up with me on a fairly twisty A road in Lincolnshire once, pillock was doing some suicidal overtakes to try and keep up.

I had a go at one of these when I was coming home from Poole Quay a few weeks ago. I stuggled.....a lot.

Power = 435 bhp
Torque = 470 Nm
0 - 60 = 4 seconds
Top Speed = 186mph

Acceleration was pretty even, maybe I had the edge, until we got to the corners. He could carry a lot greater corner speed, especially as my bottle was starting to go at 145 :oops:

funny enough I finally overtook him on a roundabout.

He kept slowing right down everytime at roundabouts.

I think he just bought the car or something...

Anyway I still gave him the thumb up when passing him

or was it :toss: :lol:

I can't remember :D

As much as I love cars, 0-60 in 4 secs in a car is nowhere near as exiting as 0-60 in 4 secs on a bike.

Sadly I corner much faster in any car than I can on my SV :oops: :wink:

:lol: :lol:

I surprised a guy in a Porsche Caymen S one night - by sitting next to him form the lights to 100.

I see him regularly - we just exchange smiles now.

Wimp.

To be honest, the SV should be quicker up to about 90-100 from a standing start.
Obviously when you get to accelerating on the motorway, the Evo will be more than a match.
Not that I make a habit of it, but I once had a 'spat' with an SP1 Subabru Impreza (on a straight, lengthy B road) the Impreza was struggling from start to ..............the Legal limit. :oops:

Id swop my sv for an evo any time.
