You can keep with ST's and vxr's (standard ones in a straight line for a short period) but they will pull on after a bit.

Against a Laxmaul'd 1.6 I'm pretty equal to 85 - 90ish. Then I have the advantage.

I haven't had anything that "equal" to compare to though.

Saab 9-3 Aero - 1-0 to me
Honda S2000 - Equal which surprised me
BMW 123d - I was quicker to 110 ish
Fiat Punto - Annihilated it lol

I know! But there we go. That one was this morning - he was sat on my backside so I pulled over to let him past and he slowed down next to me baiting me. And I bit

well reading this thread it would seem anyone who has an xe has wasted their money as a 1.6 is just as fast.

Mine wasnt a standard 1.6, was around 135bhp, and the Tigra has printout for around 156bhp, only 20bhp more, but my 1.6 will have weighed less.
