well well well....
The A1(M) was fun today (going to Midas Styling)
was nicely sitting in the outside lane when all of a sudden i look in my rear view mirror to see a black EVO 8 with "RallyArt" across the sunstrip bit.. NO front numberplate and some crazy dude behind the wheel...
he went right up me bumper and flashed me a couple of time, so i pressed the magical button (switchable boost to 280bhp) and nailed it in 5th....
before i knew it i was up to 115mph.. then 6th and took it to 130+ not quite off the clock but very nearly... he was defo surprised by "ThunderCorsa" but was way more powerful than me... i ended up pulling into the middle lane as the road was becoming a little more busy (see i am a safe driver also  )
so he shot past me...
ALL IN ALL
i was most impressed with my lil Tubby bitch, but this clearly shows i need more power  350bhp i think will be fine... roll on Phase 3 and some more tuning goodies

wouldnt think am evo would blow away a c20let corsa at those speeds 
pass, but not rape...
it has more power at as standard, yeah, but is heavier and had power sapping 4x4

totally nuts, was well cool.... but i kept him off for as long as i felt safe doing that kind of speed
