Shamed by a C30

I don't think you guys understand exactly how fast this thing was. He must be holding like 600hp or something stupid the thing hit 60 in like 3 seconds...
I saw the same guy again yesterday and witnessed him annihilate a Lamborghini Gallardo??

Thing is mate it doesn't take massive bhp to make the 133s feel like they are going backwards.

I came off a large roundabout under the M25 and headed up the dual carriageway and along came an Astra VXR and Focus RS MKII. I was probably doing 50-60ish as I came out of the bend with the intention of going about 65-70ish.

Both cars past me like I was going backwards. A minimum of 110bhp more in the Astra and just as many lbs of torque would see to the Twingo being left well and truly behind.

I'm not saying that it couldn't have mega horsepower but it's surprising how many sub 300bhp cars will totally eat up another warm/hot hatch.

Yeah the twingo isn't exactly meant to have it out with big cars in a straight line so I wasn't amazed that he destroyed me the first time. It's just I keep seeing this guy driving around having it out with everybody, and my word it's fast... Maybe I will try to catch him on camera, when I can afford a decent one.

I'd certainly be intrigued mate, it sounds like a bit of an animal. The Pepperami of the Volvo variety haha.

The only place where a Twingo can surprise the big boys is in the corners. I mean I took the corner off the roundabout with my foot down and actually quicker than the RS. No doubt down to the driver than the car but the Twingo will stick to the road like poo to my pants! lol
