Give arsie a break. He's getting old and can never remember what clip he's linking or why he's doing it ...

 

 

Oh yes I can ... oh no he cant ... ah yes, I remember

It was a big powerful V8, supercharged, so certainly on MB's 'impressive' radar probably up with a GTR.

But then after all the foreplay and faffing about in the car park

he just trickled tamely up the road



Irony

 

I remember when I got my S in 2004, some pillock not long after, in a silver E46 M3 Convertible wanted to play (in a 30 zone as well, what a numpty). Kept revving and was purposely driving very close.
So when the speed limits changed, I had to find out what this fast German wobbly cabrio had in it (sorry, the horns came out and I was younger then!) Not much in it, and easily out-braked to the next roundabout. I was very dissapointed in the M3 from that moment onwards, but appreciate they are a different car. But the grin on my face, and a £45,000 new cabrio had been shown the door by a little japanese roadster.

 

My thoughts too.

 

Been trying to educate this lot for years.

Usually met with the response of (Diseasal driver):

'Ahh yes, but lets have a race from 1500rpm in top 5th gear on a drizzly day during lent in a leap year - then my low down torque (because torque only exists low down you see) will have your power'

They never seem to get it when I suggest that we start at 7000rpm instead

I blame Top Gear for a lot of it.

 

Maybe not in 'your' real world

 

ROTFLMAO!

Top Pun.

 

It's a real struggle in the S2000 because of the aerodynamics; Coupes are invariably far better & the 3er is more aerodynamic than it looks.

But they're built to do different things anyway.

In many cars, 155 is pretty boring.

 

My m3 did at least 165.
