I think that a lot of this is to do with the driver also, not necessarily just the car. Someone in a equally as fast car may have a much quicker gear change !!

Sorry to put a downer on this subject but from a Police background, discussions like this can be tracked via computer IP's (it doesn't help when you actually state places too) as i can gaurantee that you will always get a bored police man who will sit in one of these locations just waiting to catch people racing or trying to be bigger than one another.

I know how fast my car will go without having to do it so when someone pulls up next to me in a corsa (or similar) revving the engine then why risk losing my life when i KNOW that my car WILL beat it... Just a waste of petrol i think.

I understand what your saying there Iaen about the speed thing. But I don't think that people on here are trying to beat one another with the top speeds I think it's more of an interest regarding the car - to see how fast the car will actually go. Ford quote 129mph as the top speed of the car but it's interesting to see that the car can actually go that bit quicker, and of course to try it out on private ground or an airfield and not the motorway.

And on a completely different topic, I wanted to be a copper when I was about 15 and still wanted to up until a few months ago when I changed jobs. I'm loving my job now and I'm hoping to make a full blown career in it. What part of the Police are you in btw?

I had a Astra SRi 2.2 and comparing that to my ST the ST wins hands down. Its almost the same stats but the ST is a much better car so Ford it is from now on. I also know the Astra would piss on the Corsa by the way coz its been done.

Bigboy Benj - My Police Background came from when i was in the Air Force, we workled closely with the Police Force in case of local threats in certain areas, similar to what they did with the fire brigade on op-Fresco (fire strikes).

Blueisthecolour - I'm from a little village outside of Leicester called Desford
Whareabouts are you?

Got 129mph out of my ST on the autobahn the other. And the I had my TomTom in the car at the time, and its speed was identical to the cars. When I did high speeds in my sportka the speedo was over reading quite a bit. It seems then I was actually doing 129mph nearly hitting 6000rpm. Could have gone a bit faster had my turn off not been fast approaching!
