TjP is on a distinguished road
First "run in" with a ZR

Yeah... it had a "Turbo" badge on the back but Im not convinced it was hehe.

Caught up with him on some newly laid tarmac (he was going carefully). Soon as we got back onto the old stuff I saw hazy fumes coming out of his zorst so knew he was booting it lol. I was in 5th and feeling lazy so just put my foot down... he gained a lead by about 30m so I thought fook it, put it in 4th (yes, 4th!) and gained pretty much the whole 30m back on one bend lol (had to brake on the exit as not to rear end him ) despite him going wide on entry, and me not.

After that I was feeling cocky so left it in 3rd trailing the throttle at about 6k rpm right up behind him. He had no chance of getting away lol.

Coming out of the next small town he booted it again so I went for 2nd this time so show him what a real Zed can do Most of the time I was half throttle, and cornering... well, the 180 could have soared past on the corners if it was the sort of road where you can see whats coming (ie. no hedges.)

Gave him a flash of me lights as he turned off, as you do.

I guess it was a 105 - definately wasnt a 160 anyway cause it had a single tail pipe.

So yeah... maybe it was the extra power I had, but I dont think so because of how much ground I was able to gain on the bends. I like the ZR but wouldnt buy one to face off other cars, I dont think.
