Leics meet 2 April 2011

[spike.]

If you need a car to jump into, Ben, you're welcome to ride along in mine for a bit...

I'll show you what 268BHP can do

 

[BenF]

thanks Ross - I'll look forward to that!

 

[Midnight Blue]

Lol - you will be at head of convoy too :-D

 

[Neil]

Power isn't everything!

 

[BenF]

that's what people with Minis have to say!

 

[Neil]

178bhp is more than sufficient

 

[BenF]

depends on what you want to do with it!

 

[spike.]

Power isn't everything!

313 whatevers of torque too lol

would agree, sheer power isn't everything, its a lot to do drivability, and handling, which a ST needs some improvement on.

 

[Neil]

That said, I am slightly jealous...

 

[spike.]

To be fair, as you're probably the only person here who has driven both, and can compare them, then you choose the best car in your view, which you;re probably right.

There are loads of really powerful cars, that cant take a corner.

 

[Neil]

I did enjoy the ST I test drove (a fully loaded ST3), but it felt like an absolute barge in the corners. That said, I did get a childish thrill from absolutley booting it - the 5 pot sounds awesome :grin:

Swings and roundabouts really.
