    Soon to be RS2 owner

    Hi guys

    I will soon be purchasing a RHD RS Blau RS2 (when I find one for sale) to partner my current Alfa 147 GTA.

    Since they came out, I have always one and now I am very excited about being able to get one.

    This site looks great and I will take some time to have a look through.

    One question I have is whether anyone has a scan or could point me in the direction of the Autocar test of the RS2 when it came out - where it beat the Mclaren F1 - as I am very interested about reading it again.

    Thanks

        It beat the Macca in a 0-30 run!

        Not sure about an article though.



        Cheers,

            sure it's available on back issue from Autocar, I have seen it somewhere online though see if i can check my links.

            It beat the McLaren roadcar and at the time was the quickest accelerating roadcar of its time - 1.4secs to 30mph springs to mind from a standing start.

            Ecurie Ecosse, that the name of the Ferarri GT/LM team guys?

                    How many forum names do you have? id get confused so kept them all the same



                    It beat it from 0-30, that must have been the quickest race ever.

                      Ah, I'm in Haymarket. We may bump into one another some time.
