OK I'll drag race you, I'll start at the near end, you start at the far end, do the quarter mile, turn around and go back again.

Who has the second slowest car on here?

Probably me

in my jetson insight...

In reality it's no where near that slow

When you turn on the air conditioning and it saps power from 1 of your 3 cylinders.

Do you have to pick between wipers and lights if it's a cold, rainy night?

Don't forget that having the windows open means you can't actually reach 70mph (personal experience that one

)

I accelerated from 70ish to 110ish and moved over as I had an E61 want to show me he had a bigger penis. He shot past me as if I was standing still. I want a debadged 535i estate

They didn't do an E61 or E60 535i in the UK.

Whatever it was listed on askmid. B5 jrr. Maybe a diesel?

Around the 4.5 sec mark. Makes for some interesting looks from much more expensive hardware operators.

I just held mine in the same hand I was using to control the wheel.

I haven't made a 0-60 yet, I do have the old gtech so will give it a go...
I do have a 60-100 video here. My car isnt great 0-60, but it takes off after

Rainagul · 17 May 2015 at 01:35

Here's my supra doing 0-60. semi slick tyres are really nice, even on a cold surface.

N43SP33D · 17 May 2015 at 01:47

Yeah it's not doing to bad for an N/A.

The times I have raced stock TT's, it's pretty close through 1st and 2nd, by the time 3rd comes that's when the turbo's really show their power and leave me many car lengths behind

Air conditioning? Pffft, I wish. I don't have that luxury.

Not quite that bad.

This is my own 0 - 60 video. I can get it to shift itself to 60 a little bit quicker if I slip the clutch more on the "launch" (if you can call it that) and rev it to the red-line (I shift a little before in this video) but it is verrrry slow...

And in my case my phone is attached to the top of the steering wheel with one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Breffo-Spiderpodium-Flexible-Holder-Samsung-Black/dp/B003Y419K4
