I guess that's what 640bhp will get ye! I think mines about 320bhp and being honest I don't worry about overtaking times. :D

I did have an Audi RS3 do a very over aggressive overtake the other week. I'd just come off a roundabout wafting along and he went blaring past as close to me as he could so I pressed down on the throttle. He was desperate to get away having 'beat' the ev. I reeled him In listening to my classic fm. Could see his little head moving back and forth to the rearview mirror. I let it go after he slammed his anchors on for lights. I'm too old to be doing that stuff. :twisted:

Good article.
