Ricey Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Cheaper and more effective to make a zed go quicker by making it handle better, brake better and lose some weight. Of course some are obsessed with the dick swinging bhp headliner which impress the Asda carpark fraternity so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Keyser has first dibs Dan, but could I interest you in some tyres from Cybertron? Same ones Optimus Prime uses, can still perform at even the highest temperatures (re-entry into Earths atmosphere) and laser bolt resistant. Suitable for use on varied terrain from desert sand to tarmac. Nice one mate, hope I have enough left on my PayPal account.

Of course some are obsessed with the dick swinging bhp headliner which impress the Asda carpark fraternity so much To be fair round my way most of the cars at "asda carpark fraternity" would beat my Z in a drag or on the track. Everyone seems to have a 400bhp focus RS or Evo's/scoobs etc. God knows how these kids afford such cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxrob Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Surely it's all relative I've had my zed about 5 months now, I know some cars are quicker, some slower, so what, I bought mine because I have always loved the looks and sound of them As for being "gunned of the lights", well, thats irrelevant, most of it boils down to the driver, not the car Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these young drivers nowadays don't even realize how good they've got it ~ electric windows, ABS braking, CD/DVD players, 100bhp+ 1litre cars etc. Back in my day we had to wind the windows down and if you wanted to go faster you went down hill.

r37 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 my first car had all mod cons, none of them worked. but they were still there. The central locking would pick 2 random doors to lock rather than all 4, the ABS worked depending on what sort of road you were driving on, the air con was just a blue light and made no difference to the temperature of the air, similar story with the heater. It was either cold, colder or nice and warm 500yds from your destination. The electrics worked most of the time and the windscreen leaked. Character building i say. Until youve set off for work at 5am on a snowy morning with no power steering, no heater, dicky electronics and a leaky windscreen you dont appreciate having a car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r37 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 nope, a car/company known for making quality automobiles. A rover 45 i inherited form my late uncle. Was a truly terrible car but it was my first, and i'd still say one of the best. Handled like a boat, steering was completely numb had no power and was rusting quite badly in places. But it did start every morning (with some gentle persuasion) and was somewhere i could go and smoke/entertain ladies. Which made it one of the best. Just because its fast doesnt mean its your favorite car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 My Zed never ceases to impress me everytime I take it on track, the feedback from the chassis means you can easily play with it right on the limit, the low down grunt means its gets out of corners and adds the speed relatively quickly and it telegraphs everything so if it does go wrong youve got days to catch it. It bats well above its average and suprises a lot of people, not as much as the guy behind me in the Clio 182 does but thats another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chased a VXR220 around Bedford for 5 laps, nothing gained nothing lost and that is a more honed track machine. Then I got to cruise home in comfort afterwards!

brillomaster Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Pah, we chased a 350z round bedford in our 17 year old 328i, and he wasnt pulling away over a lap faster in a straight line yes (276bhp plays 193) but too heavy through corners and not good under brakes - if you want to make a zed faster round a track, it needs to be lighter and with better brakes. yes, a 400bhp zed would get you to the next corner faster, but then the lighter, less powerful car behind you will close the gap under braking, and carry more speed through the corner.
