So the 250 bhp ctr gave the what, 140bhp vx220 a bit of trouble, I don't get your point

He turbo'd the vx because it wasn't faster than the ctr, the ctr wasn't faster than the turbo'd vx.

I'd have just bought a vx220 turbo.

Also, I baited an RS4 into booting it beside me the other day, sounded amazing.

Yet you commented in the previous page saying that you were in a 240bhp CTR and it felt slow??Your friends N/A 220 must have been shit slow.What are the stats on them??5secs to 60 etc.Not what id call slow by any means but hey ho.

yeah they get to 60 ok. but then after that theyre not all that fast. stats arent real world performance on the open road.

infact standard vx220 is slower to 100 than a civic type-r is.

the humourous thing corsa spot 21 is how you are proving yourself wrong with your info constantly. i dont even have to bother replying.

Hence my shit slow comment if its slower than a slow 240bhp CTR.
I wasnt aware that the N/A 220's were as slow as your making out.Maybe the guy on here that owns 1 can comment.

Unless you are just talking your usual Honda/owner/baiting/fishing rubbish.

i just dont understand what your point about a vx220 was when you quoted a thread and didnt actually bother to even read the couple of words after what you quoted. seemed strange comment to make from you.

After owning both I find that very hard to believe.

the problem on this website is everyone thinks the car they own is the best no matter the context.

Fire force 1 is slower in bends than my coupe! So a drag race does have some form of say on a performance stat making thread.
