Beaten :(

For the second time ever on my RS125 I got out accelerated by a car

It was one of these >>>

https://www.audi-tts.co.uk/Red_TT_Coupe.gif

Pretty damn fast, I was pushing almost 80MPH and still accelerating hard when this geezer over took. Was pretty impressed.

Does anyone know the retail price on one of these?

Audi TT 1.8 I believe it was, probably a turbo diesel.

LOL @ turbo diesel, i shouldn't think so.

The standard 1.8t does 60 in around 8 seconds, and cost 25k (i'd rather have lots of bikes )

[G]

Most 125s will have trouble out accelerating cars above 60-70mph. The wind resistance starts to become a major problem alond with the lack of power.

I had a TT try to race me on the Blade a while back...the fool.

i know they use the 1.8 turbo engine in the car which is also used in quite a few other cars.

0-60 of a TT is around 0.5 sec's faster than a 2 stroke 125.
And after 60 you don't even have a hope, the car has much better aerodynamics.

Didn't you people know that?

You know what my suggestion is? Get a bigger bike.

Funniest thing happened to me today.

Was sitting in traffic behind a Porche Carrera(sp) convertable type thingy. He looked around and saw me pull up behind him and decided to redline his car to show me how good it was, hhhmmmm me just having the scorpions fitted couldnt resist, revved the bike up a few times bounced it off the limiter, the twat moved straight out the way

Car drivers when will you learn?

[TiN]

That's one of the (few) cool things about twins - the aggressive blipping tone. But the most fun comes when you combine an underseat exhaust, race cans, and a convertable car behind you.

Next Door Neighbour has one, and luckily my dad is on their insurence list (they tend to go on holiday alot and where left to look after the house / cars etc...)

Which can be a bit of a perk as the have a mercedes kompresser thing and that Audi, and also one of them people carrying evil chysler things.

And the Audi TT is a fairly poky car. But the best thing about the car is its grip, the thing seems to take islands with no loss of grip.

Till you get out the car and smell the 5 mm of rubber you just took off.

It may be fast and handle well, but its fuckin ugly!

[Crazy Manx Man]

1 exhaust on the TT means 180bhp 1.8 litre Turbo

2 exhuasts means 225bhp 1.8litre turbo

now they have a third model a 3.2 litre V6 with 250bhp, again 2 exhausts and it differs by being abit tarty. You'll notice the difference.

Have fun.

Z3's are hairdresser's cars.
If i had the choice between that and an RS Turbo i'd go for the Escort. Have you ever heard them tick over, sound like tanks, go like shit.

Well, you my friend are obviously a boy racer.

You would choose a heap of shite RS Turbo over a 3.2l BMW. One word, wrong!

I personally think that Z3s were overhyped (look cool from the front, but lost it at the rear), and performance didn't match other cars in it's class...having said that, I've never set foot in one so I'll shut my mouth about it's relative performance.

I would definately take the Z3 over the boy racer mobile...'cos I can probably sell it for quite a few grand, and get a proper performance car

RS Turbo's aren't any boy racer cars, nobody can afford the insurance because so many have had them written off, but i would still choose them over that Z3 hairdresser car bollocks .
