yeah right 
"to my surprise even with the weight of the interior this car has out performed the following cars, Honda 2.2 prelude 2XNovas (stripped lightened 2.0L conversions)Subaru WRX (cornering)Sierra Cosworth, VTS VTR Saxo's, Astra 2.2 coupes and mercedes AMG CLK"
All of it made me laugh, but the bold bits especially

Got a reply
sorry simple mindind individual, obviously you dont race around tracks, your obviously a boy racer of some kind. May i kindly remind you that not everyone who owns a 06 plate Blue Subaru WRX is nigel mansell, or david coultard. The driver is obviously inexperienced and had no correct driving lines through the corners. My fathers EVO 8 @ 370bhp was beaten around castle coomb by an A reg Ford Fiesta the other week. Trust me subaru's nor Evo's own the road, they mierly extend the size of your manhood. As the car i am selling is designed for thrill seekers, enthusiasts and all round car/motorsport fans.
but i do thankyou for taking the time to read my Ebay Ad and showing some interest in my car.

I raced a U.K. spec Skyline in a straight line in my old X reg Fiesta and kept up with it. 
My Fiesta, weight = 675kg & 175bhp 1700cc crossflow motor. 
Have a look on www.letstorquebhp.com performance calculator and let me know the results.
