It's also how the power is transferred to the road. No good having a lightweight car with uber power, that can't put it down.
My money would be on the GTR

Turn all the toys off and I may have a chance?
I was going to add, the GTR has traction and "point and squirt" abilities where the VXR requires a lot more work.
Well mine is bad, around 630-640hp and about 1800kg with some fuel and me in it.
Still it grips and goes alright.

Would be happy to turn VDC off for a straight-line run as long as its dry.
Yeah you're right that sounds pretty slow.
It was absolutely ballistic even with me in it to weigh it down
But then so was Mike's VX a couple of years ago..
Launching is quite a delicate operation when you dont have launch control.
I remember a few of us trying to drive your car slowly around a car park at a southern meet, seeing who could move off and such without stalling it.

Like the CT200H 
. I've not driven one, but passengered a bit. I'm starting to see quite a few of them around, but yeah I'd be going for F-Sport myself.
Obviously for a fun car a CVT is rubbish, but I really like it in our 450H... it's great for lazy driving and if you stick it in 'Sport' mode it's not too slow either.

I keep getting tempted to stick a Quaife ATB in my 182 :/Mike will just keep spinning in 1st
Couple of mine now that I've had it a couple of months.
Audi A5 3.0TDI, 43k, Nice spec as well, built in SatNav, Front/Rear parking sensors, Bluetooth, DAB radio, Bang & Olufson and the split leather/alcanthara seats which are lovely! Nice to be able to average 40 MPG, certainly a lot better than the 23MPG average from the S4 which makes a huge difference when you're doing 300 miles a week to work

So today I briefly hung up the keys of the 330Ci and boarded my new chariot for the day:
I have to say I had as much fun in this as I do the BMW! It has no power whatsoever, but because of the single gear and electric motor, when you plant your foot the tiny power is straight away there
The steering is extremely light but they turn practically on the spot, which combined with the uneven terrain they are made for, can sometimes get close to ending badly as you feel it start to tip over lol.
Felt weird getting back in the 3 series after though lol.
