    I can't believe the guy driving makes so many mistakes!

    1. Changing gear during the burnout??? Start it in 2nd or 3rd...
    2. Lifting his foot off the throttle during gear changes

    I reckon that car's got 10.4 in it if it were driven better.

    Yes, you've definitely ruffled a few feathers with your ickle cabby which seems to be able to beat much more expensive and powerful cars!

    for 3.5k im sure that would be a good purchase for a VR powered mk2, would give ben something to worry about[:s] other than the slapping that coming his way.

    I thought that way back in this thread we were told that it was a cheap conversion[:s]

    it would be in a mk2 & everyone knows that they are faster than the mk3. should think in a VR powered syncro car, it would be pretty awesome IMO

    ok you win that one mate the mk2 isnt as heavy or ugly as a mk3 and if its syncro youll have no problems getting it of the line unless im behind you with a chain and anchor
