:) bit of fun

I did Enzo vs Fiesta Zetec for the humour :)

Let's consider the contenders.... One an extremely powerful car made out of plastic and weighing next to nothing. The other an extremely powerful car made out of lard and weighing seven fuckloads of a heavy thing.

Doesn't really take much working out does it ? :)

Yeah but ones got Twin turbo's and 450bhp, you dont need to know the rest :)

And the 4.2 TVR will have 350 horses or so. And be lighter. And have no 4x4 transmission losses.

Or a dog in the back. ;-)

impreza sti V Lambo Gallardo Gallardo won, but only made up in the second 1/8th mile.

And no turbo lag, or drive-by-wire throttle.

RS4 is a quick car, no one is denying that, but it isn't a sports car and in the right hands TVR will be quicker.

true :)

and does the maclaren vs the bike.

RS4 is 2.7 V6 380bhp (RS6 is 4.2 V8 450bhp).

What about Murcielago vs. Gallardo? IMO, whilst the Murcielago is the true 'Lambo', the Gallardo is the faster car point to point, and the one most likely to be enjoyable on a regular basis. I surely wasn't alone in noticing the closeness of the times between the two on Top Gear, but the Gallardo's time was recorded in the wet - a fact conveniently forgotten as obviously as it is remembered when something they like is a million seconds slower than a GT3.

Of course, I'd have the Murcielago. If I wanted practical, I'd have a Volvo.

i prefer the lambswagen imo.

Just to correct myself, the above is the old RS4. The current one is 4.2 V8 344bhp.

no you were right the first time.

I thought the 4.2 V8 was the S4?

it is. but the RS4 is twin turbo's also.

Just to correct you, that's wrong - it's the S4 that has 344bhp :)

If you look closely you will see the 4wd RS4 leaves the line in front. Then the light RWD TVR activates weight transfer, hooks up and goes away.

Once moving on road or track a well balanced RWD with about 25bhp and
