southernracer666:i've got a 2.0 litre primera 16v which is pretty nippy. smokes VTR's for fun at the lights but my bro's got a focus 2.0 16v which leaves pretty much anything behind yet it's standard. mine's on a P plate and my bro's on a T but yeah i gotta go with what ya saying about the older cars tho
end of the day the factor that gives a sxo such an edge is its weight i think (off the top of my head) that the factory standard weight is under a ton aroun 800Kg which is nothing, so hence why it smokes most cars of its size and keeps up if not gives bigger cars a go for their money, its basically a coke can on wheels, i wouldnt want to crash in mine tho LOL!
main reason why it has a bad reputation, is because of what it is you get loads of fucking gary boy pricks driving them tryin to race everyone, and end up crashing them
hence the high insurance groups and insurnace companies not wanting to insure people on them!
