I've had a read back through this thread, and I can't see anyone having a go at our cars.
All there has been has been an opinion from some of us, that although we believe our cars are great - there are actually faster ones out there - that's all.
On a simple - have a look at the figures discussion - there are a lot of cars out there which will be faster in a straight line. Everyone knows that our cars handle very well, but we are a sensible bunch and some perspective needs to be taken as we are not a bunch or spotty teenagers who believe that our saxos do 150mph just because we've got an induction kit on them !
The way I see it - it's like this.
The ZS is a quality lightweight boxer - in that it's cheap as chips putting out 180ish bhp with great handling. Up against similar weighted boxers - for that read similarly priced so called sports cars - and it'll wee all over them as pound for pound it simply cannot be beaten.
Stick it in against a heavyweight boxer or an expensive car with with 300+bhp - the ZS may still be more nimble and agile - but it just ain't got enough to deliver the knockout, and will get done.
And ... that's an opinion that I have got - and can give, whether you like it or not - anywhere on this or any other forum by the way.
But - Daytona - I'm glad that you had a good safe blast around and surprised the driver of another very fast car.
