had a lil play with one of these last night up a small stretch of a dualcarriage way!
he had come out of a roundabout a few car lengths before me, but when i pulled out and sped up the road and got near, i could see the puff of smoke as he went down a gear and gunned it, i was still only in 2nd doing 30, so thought, why not, so i gunned it to 60 in second and wipped the floor with him! i immediatly slowed down to legal speeds, and he went straight onto my bumper. apporaching another roundabout, he followed, and i immediatly gunned it in 2nd again and i was "miles" ahead. id proved my point, and pulled over to the slow lane still doing 60. he went past at 65 and had a good long stare at my motor (but not me), and then just slowly went away!
lol, put a smile on my face, bet its not that often he gets beat in his new SRI!
before voting, bare in mind, we didnt break the speed limit (well i didnt), and there were no other cars!

funny that, i got a small cough as well!
i personally think the turbo model would be exactly the same as a standard rev1/2 tubby, once up to speed.
by the way, is it only the SRIs that have the small bodykit detailing?? ie, skirts, bigger wheels and small spoiler?
Re: astra SRI! newish!
Hmmm it seems the Turbos have 200bhp , not sure on the bodykit bud.. could be an extra
Re: astra SRI! newish!
Hrms Mr2 Tubby Vs Vaux Sri.... fair I think you should have beaten him... now go back and do it in a 120bhp n/a

oh i know i would have won either way, the post was really relating to the fact that when he pulled up beside me after the little dual, he had a long hard stare at my car! you gota love the mr2!
pretty sure an SRI would beat the 120na mr2. lighter, and more power, just!
