Like I say, I've not driven Snett before, so I'll need a few practice laps. :wink:
as you come out of the bomb-hole, and the car goes out of shape, make sure you don't bottle it, as right in front of you is a high HIGH tyrewall with a solid earth bank behind it,

(or at least they still had the earth bank when I used to race there in the 1990s)

on a long long scarey right-hander which then runs into the chicane

Apart from that, it's easy :D

I don't do bottling it! :eek:

There's scarier parts of the Nurburgring I would have thought, and I love it!

Have you tried the Foxhole at 120mph? That's scary.... :mad:

I just thought of something.

Back in the day when I were a lad.
I owned 2x Mazda 323f GTi 16v's, (141bhp), both rolling roaded at 149bhp.
Now, both of these cars would hammer golf gti 16v's, but it couldnt touch a 325i.

as was said before it clearly depends from car to car and HP etc doesn't say much about how a car will hold up in a sprint.Soon it will all be clear :D

Guy's I offer you the Golf GTi 16v, but with me driving, totally standard, Used to own a tech 1 325i sport back in the day, a local lad was raving on about his VR6 cos they were kinda new on the secondhand market, saw him driving around, so done a 'u' turn, and chased him, and all I can say is he wasn't going anywhere and he was canning it. I also have a Civic VTi - in 4 door form, 160bhp standard, you just gotta wait to go into the VTEC zone 5500 rpm, and it just moves. I also own a Toyota Corolla GT Twin Cam 16v, on a C-reg, 3 door hatch, FWD variant, only pushing out about 125bhp, but very revvy, take off it would have the golf any day of the week, I haven't read the rest of the post yet, so venue etc, not too far from M40 ends.
