People like you should not be on the road. What would happen if you lost it and went into some poor fucker? Those sorts of speeds just be kept on the track!

yours wont be any faster than the clio, should be about the same, and you certainly wouldnt "smoke" one thats if your XE is pretty much standard

im fed up of people on here thinking theyve "smoked" this "eaten" that, do u realise how much brake horse power advantage you actually need to significantly pull away from sumthing, your car maybe be a shade quicker due to the mods youve done, but if you were both driving properly then you would only have crept past over a long stretch of road, if you went past fast then either he was in the wrong gear or wasnt even trying to race you

to put it into perspective, went up againts a corsa LET in my 106 gti, he was running in excess of 230bhp, my 106 was running about 140ishbhp, yetas expected he pulled away but only slowly, he certainly didnt just "fuck off" into the distance, now you explain to me how your car with 5-10bhp max advantage over this clio meant that you could just leave him behind ?

steve is right to a certain extent though, it takes time to get in front and depending on gear and situation you cant always just 'fuck off'
but i've tanned 106gti's asses at lincoln, only cars that gave me a good competition were the imported scoobies and cosworths
