GOOD: Fusion Motorsports EVO 1, god knows how fast this car was. The most amazing experience in the passenger seat i've ever experienced!! 20K on engine mods and more i think, 1/4 mile in 10 or 11.

BAD: Vauxhall Corsa (Any shape), including the one i own. Pile of shit!

Good: Gallardo Spyder, RS4 and my Evo of course ;)

Bad: Aston Vanquish - Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing car and the interior, the looks and everything was top class, but it's going in the bad as it wasn't as fast as I had expected :(.

In fact... maybe the Aston doesn't deserve the bad pile after all lol.

Good - Uncles old Ultima GTR, the thing was just brutal, oh and the noise.....
Oh and a DB9, fecking love these.... the shape, the noise, the comfort.......

Bad - Was taken out in a 400hp EVO, and wasnt that impressed, fair enough it hung into the twisties, but it didnt seem to have the get up and go i was expecting.

Good: GTi6'd 205 was done in Lime green and sounded like the world was ending with the induction noise, set really good 1/4 times for an N/A. Mazda 323 GTR didnt no what to expect but christ it was unreal, really really surprising car! MK3 Astra GSI-T a MK3 Astra with a C20LET conversion, running 290bhp and not far off the paces of me.

Bad: R35 GTR stunning cars and awesome performance but i had ago against once of these on track and it didnt have the power to pass me on the straights and this was over 100mph+, after 2 attempts he had.

hahaha...you legend!!!:) That is brilliant.. after paying what 100k ish for his car he gets beatin by a little (albeit mental..and sexy as fook!) hot hatch!! He must have been just like WTF??? probably sent back his skyline:haha:
