Boxing day 1.40 in the afternoon, we are in my mate's accord typeR 4 people on the M6, and then there is a scary view on the mirror, a red Monaro VXR we let it go past and then try to chase him, the result was a furious type 3 driver at 8k rpm looking at the monaro pulling away as if it was powered by the eurofighter's jet engines. My mate thought that he would have a chance following the monaro and i was laughing with tears. Warning to everyone DO NOT TRY AND RACE A MONARO it is a beast.

Nice!

Sometime other peoples optimism is comedy in itself

I'm quite surprised at that. Type R is no slouch

True but there were 4 people in it

It is definately a fast car but there is no match to the Monaro, earlier i raced him as we were driving to his girlfriends place and it didn't blow the omega away maybe 2 cars distance. He said that he couldn't Vtech it as it was not fully warmed up.

Hmmm...and, as a matter of interest, at what speed did you decide to stop trying to catch it

I beat one down the A43 from Brackley towards the M40 a few months ago....

....but I was on the Kawasaki

That V8 did sound nice at full throttle though as it appraoched the rev limiter....

we backed off at 110 there was no point.

Quite frequently I end up following a Civic Type R home from work, and if there is no much traffic, we occasionally have a little blast. The Type R is defo quicker at lower speeds, but seems a little unsettled in corners (I gain on him in sweeping corners, and at higher speeds, but lose out in slower corners)...

Type R will defo begin to lose acceleration around then, and the big V8 will still be purring well...

Relatively speaking, of course, that is seriously cheap!!
