Just had a nice little incident with said car, poppin home after work he took off like a scalded cat round a few roundabouts then up the A1 so I thought why not see how the old girl copes with that. Right up his arris to aboot 140 then he back off and give me a little nod, reckon he got a bit of a shock
I hope it wasn't done where there was a risk of someone or something moving into the path of both vehicles. I apologise profusely for being a wet blanket.

Fret not, I am sure they were doing 140 metres per hour. Quite pedestrian really.
Of course I would never risk life or limb or points or a ban, it was on a private section of the A1 with no entry or exits points and the 140 was obviously just a statistical number that could be construed in any way we like
I have a Z4 coupe 3.0SI, only the the 265 hp homo one, I also have a chipped RS2 spec S2, on a straight road the S2 is obviously quicker, but and decent road or a track the Z4 is a much faster car, nimble and easy to use.
My friend has a 550hp B5 RS4 on KW coilovers ect, and even that cant pull any distance through the twisties/brakes and roundabouts of MK. (well gone on a straight obviously)
The main reason I have it is not its fun drive , its the fact that thrashing the BMW returns better MPG than the S2 does driving slow enough to get a parking ticket. One of them is going to have to go soon, pretty sure it will be the S2.
Even an stock RS2 isn't really that quick by modern standards
I agree, not many will launch like one, but there are TDIs that will keep up with one on the move.
Amazing how far ordinary cars have come in 20 years.
