i thought that, 215hp in car thats prob 800kg if that, i was expecing it to kill everything on straights!

i was more impressed with the handling of it, it was outbraking and taking the corners faster then others!

metro doesnt really get a clean lap in that vid though. Also those cones to stop you overtaking into the braking area probably dont help.

I'll find some vids of my old corsa.... similar power and weight to the metro i think


They got faster too IIRC.

And that was his 2nd ever time there. Definately lots more time to cut off.
