Fast Car
 
This is one helluva fast Golf... 580bhp to be exact. Watch it beat Porsches and Lamborghinis at Hockenheim with ease!

Yes but how many miles per gallon does it do? :disturbd:

Does it have room to take the girlfriend shopping in town? :disturbd:

Is it ecomonical to service? :disturbd:

Is it cheap to ensure? :disturbd:

You see... it's a completely useless car... :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd:

My younger brother's car makes about that amount of power now, albeit his is a bit heavier. Still A handful though. He could easily make 100-200bhp more if he had a spare $3-4k

Incidently, this (NOTE contains one small swear word) is what that kind of power (well, a bit more, i'd say about 650bhp, and at the wheel, not crank) can do if you are a numbnuts who can't drive.

It's all very well having all that power.....but having been behind the whell of a Viper (albeit for a very short time) I'm not convinced you'd be able to use it - and if you could get all that power down on the track it's doubtful you'd be able to control it very well.

That's nothing - check out this 802BHP Honda Civic:

Well they all beat the modded 1.2 novas I see around here with PFY's driving and looking like utter ******s.

But I fail to see what the point is, I mean why have all that power, what use is it?

Wathcing the video it proves nothing, my 120Bhp Vectra could beat a porsche providing like in the video they were slowing down and moving over for me!

I'm sorry but that Golf could not beat that Lamborghini in a straight line or on a track if the Driver didnt slow down and move over.

One thing to remember is that the golf was setup to be a track car and nothing else. IIRC the golf had 580bhp, the lambo looked like a diablo but it could've been a murcielargo and if it was then they have about the same power but the golf would be lighter and in a straight line it would win and also around corners it would win. Sure if a race driver was in the lambo then it wouldn't be so easy but I have no doubts the golf would win as it is setup to live on a race track, the lambo hasn't.

I've seen a vid which was a race between 6 or 7 supercars, two were a lambo murcielargo & a gallardo and another was a honda nsx. Now the honda 'only' has around 300bhp where as the lambos have over 500 but round the corners nothing could keep up with the nsx and it was only on the straights that the lambos reduced the gap and if the guy in the nsx didn't miss a shift on the last lap, he would of won. So it proves that a fast car on a race track is not all about power.
