driving fast 2.7tt???

[Michael Guidotti]

yes I totally agree, I have beaten cars that i know for a fact were faster than me just by getting a "jump" on them, only to be abused at the next light(in my totally stock VW GTI). but if you can consistently beat several different examples of the same type of car then there is a good chance that you have the faster car.

It's all about the drivers- without knowing exactly what gear each
driver
was in and the exact timing of throttle application, it's very hard to
really
know which car is truly faster, unless you simply subject both cars to
the
same acceleration tests in controlled conditions with the same driver.

I got a lot of flak from my mechanic by making the mistake of telling
him that
my car was faster than an E36 M3. No, I didn't know the driver, so there
really
is no way of telling, he's right.
