I think we have to accept the fact that most people who buy powerful cars assume that they can win just because they paid more for their car, even when they can't drive for s**t, i've beaten an older bmw m3 and an s2000 purely because they let off in the corners and i don't, straight up though either car would piss all over my 9.
cars beaten in fair race;
astra vxr and gsi's
corsa vxr, it only managed a 16's 1/4 at crail
seat leon cupra (not the r)
ep3 type-r (mates car) just left it
fn2 type-r (incredibly slow!)
eg6 vti and ek4
del slo
glanza turbo (not sure on power)
focus st
standard ek9 (mates car)
beaten by;
mates 280hp 200sx left me for dead lol
mates 98 spec dc2, not really beaten as such just neither one of us could pull away
mk1 focus rs, sat behind it untill end of 3rd then he started getting away
Just to add mine's a stroked b16b
