What is "Fast"?

Indeed, if it is a wind up I want in, who are we winding up?

No, when we are bored we sometimes discuss cars

Steady on old man, lets keep it realistic.

Out of interest, how did you recognise her?

I am both fascinated by these weekly feeding frenzies. I find it best if, as a casual Motors reader, you let a likely thread such as this build up several pagesworth of posts, then skip to the last page, read some posts to detect if a feeding frenzy is in process, then go back to the start of the thread and take in how it all develops and how the piece of random information being argued over in post #350 whatever came about and evolved . The trick is spotting which thread titles may go this way in order to leave them long enough before sampling them to get the full Motors effect as god intended.

I play this game too. It's most entertaining.

Reading that site there appears to be only one person who works there - the owner. A man.

How odd.

Pretty sure he's been IP banned now, as he has already been found using a second ID during a suspension.

I was joking and don't really care.

Going from a 1986 VFR750FG - 1999 Triumph Daytona 955i That's pretty fast and fun

 

[Lethagized]

Anything that does 0-60 in 5 seconds or under is fast in my books

An IP ban will last what? All of the 5 minutes it would take to reboot his router?

and doesnt help should he decide to change ISP and get a completely different IP range.

I am not surprised that 100mph can be done in 0.6 miles, I am surprised that you can race an M3 until 100mph at which point the m3 leaves you like you are standing still, ie still accelerating hard and now travelling much faster than you, and then shed all the speed for the end of the road all still within this half mile stretch.

Quite a simple explanation for this.

The m3 had a bonotune vtec conversion.

Just posting from the London in LA. Final night before I handback the stunning American convertible hire car. Shame. Wish I could stay here though and Di the road trip and especially Vegas again.

8 seconds is nippy.
7 seconds is pretty quick.
6 Seconds is fast enough.
5 Seconds is fast.
<5 seconds is pretty ****ing fast.
<4 seconds is LOLOMGWHATMYFACE?!

That is how I see it, anyway. You have to remember that 7-8 seconds was fairly fast 15 years ago, especially as far as consumer cars went.

Which 328 are we taking about, though? An E36 manual should be doing it in around 7 seconds?

This + i lol'ed
