You win some, you lose some...

[Mike]

Lots of accounts of victories for the humble 2 but surely Im not the only one who's lost a couple of tangles?!
What cars have you come unstuck against? Or have any unsuspecting motors surprised you?

Personnally my first whopping came at the hands of a Porsche 996 GT2, to be honest I did ok, I was only about 3 car lengths behind so I think I may have surprised him.
I've also lost to a Mclaren Mercedes SLR (before anyone asks why I even bothered to try; it was night time so all I could see was his headlights in my mirrror, at least until he undertook me that is!)

Thankfully Im yet to be embarrassed by anything, but its only a matter of time before a Nova with a Cavalier Turbo engine hands me my a$$.

[Olly P]

Got destroyed by a Vauxhall Cosra once

BUT! It was one of those Calibra turbo ones, but looked standard. I should have realised the three gauges on the a-pillar must have been for some purpose . Never seen a car accelerate off the line so fast in my life .

Well im not shy to say that I was beaten on the strip in my ole tubby by a brown mk1 clio with a Audi TT...

I left him off the line obviously and then he shot past me about 2/3rd the way down the strip!

And on a more recent note. (since i bought my GT4).. I got my ass handed on a plate to me by an astra GSI on the Mways... He was on my bumper from 70 all the way to 130!

After i conceeded, he gave me a flash of the lights and a smile.. the little git.. lol Then i saw a clue as to why he whooped me.. There was this huge Intercooler hanging from the bottom of his front bumper!

Its all fun.

mates P1 imprezza was glued to my bumper round our bypass which consists of mile straights and roundabouts then he decided to overtake me and he was pretty much 5 car lenghts ahead but my tubbys near std with a few mods il give him another go he also has just built a 360bhp 2.1 escort rs turbo which will be fairly quick when ecu is mapped

I got beaten by a 1.2 Corsa, though as usual i wasn't trying. He probably thought i was though.

They are actually quite heavy and about 204ish bhp. So not especially quick.

300+ Nova Although I didn't bother dropping down a gear. I was 4th doing 40 when he came steaming past.

Renault 19 shocked me. I was only slowly pulling away from him.

[gordy.r]

Volvo T5 sport (ex-cop car with 300bhp). Didnt embarass me, i just found it hard to shake him lol.

If thats the Bronze coloured clio I saw at York dragway, then its feckin well fast!

It ran a 12.6 @ 116mph when I watched it.

Looks completely standard too. muahaha!

I would love a Nova / Corsa with a cally turbo C20 LET engine in it, phase 3.5 with 320horses would be a 12 seconder and porsche turbo killer.

There was a green bogey sick looking one that frequents york dragway that had 310hp and was stupidly fast, i messaged him on the boards and he was goin for 450hp next. madness!

Back on topic, with cars that handed it to me unsuspectingly ... well I didnt loose the race in question but it was a hard fight to win against something I thought I would whoop.

Basically in my old s13 with stage 2 mods (270ish hp) I came accross a normal looking P reg elise on the dual carriageway and he baited me for a race, so I thought yeah I'll take you on, showing off a bit to my 17yr old cousin too lol anyway the race was so close, I was only just getting away and took till 3rd n 4th to get away prop on the straight.

Coincedently I raced the SAME elise at york dragway in august 2006 and a GRUDGE MATCH ensued!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Over the 1/4 mile he just edged me, but the resulting terminal says I was catching him up

he got 13.4 @ 103 I got 13.504 @ 105.54mph

Thats the git... I was there last year in August and kept going up against another carrib blue tubby who i went with.

My quickest was 13.5@101. A TVR Sagaris was there also in a shocking green colour.. now that sounded amazing!...

I was there on the monday actually lol

[paulmann]

not yet lost to anyone but its probably being down to me picking my fights.

But in my previous car (Supra mk4 non turbo) I got beat in the wet to a pug 305 diesel!!

It was wet though and my ar$e was all over, couldn't get the power down and that was with eagle f1's too.

[fizz]

I bet the chap went off bragging to everyone saying how he beat a Supra TT..

[stiggy]

Got beaten only earlyer today by a Octavia VRS in my NA MR2.

Admittedly, second time round he wasnt a lucky. I'd take him if we both launched but from a 5mph rolling start he had me!

[2barGee]

In my rev2 running 300 bhp i never lost a race on the road lost a fair few times down at the pod lol. Beat m3s all the time and a 911 nasp and countless chessy boy racers.


In the new beast only had a couple of racers and so far when i finally come onto boost everybody suddenly looks like there going backwards love it
