this is the problem the person maybe racing you but that doesnt mean they can actually drive and handle the car well

Yes matt its the same one, the pair of them nail it every where, you can hear them before you see the smoke. The fabia sounds mental tbf. But yes they both drive like cocks, i have yet to play

Its not ideal throwing your car into roundabouts at silly speeds on public roads, its too dangerous so I never bother! I usually just wait until a nice straight bit of road where is safe and then "try" to pass.
So if you encountered me on a roundabout then you would definitely "beat" me!

i wouldnt say R32s are that quick, i "raced" one in my Corsa and left it like he was going backwards much to the amusement of his hot GF.
Wasnt at all impressed. I still like them, just for the noise

exactly
the amount of tubes who probably think they have owned me where just driving like complete tits on dangerous roads
the only time i have a blast now really is on the motorway or just to show some fanny up at a set of traffic lights

I got bleached by an older RS4 Avant yest
I wasnt trying...........it was rush hour traffic & on a road that police always sit with their gatso. Im not going to start driving like a goat just because I have the ability to do so & someone that values there car/licence/life less than I do wants me to!! 
Thats what im saying anyway

They aint the fastest thing on earth your right, but they aint exsacly slow. Also some people are mixing up mk4 with mk5 (like i have done with a few replies )
How do they differ performance wise?

I was behind a mk5 one and he could not leave me and it looked very unstable on the rear when he was pushing
The haldex system is shit IMO
