How does your RX compare?

[Bobfish]

A standard rex will slowly catch a brand new M3 (ive done it)

round the corners there isnt a huge amount in it either, but these are roundabouts - not circuits so theres a huge difference there.

Get a good launch on your dad and you can call him a spastic the rest of his life - however, be wary as some people say, the torque on it may pip you to the post in a short race, sit a rex at 5krpm in 2nd gear next to a BM diesel at 3krpm in second adn punch it, you will hand his arse to him - however, if he catches you snoozing in 3rd at 30 he\'ll tear you a new bottom probably!

Ok I know a bit this BMW thing, As I have the 330D witha little chip upgrade. Puts it up to around 230 ish BHP. Ok we are also not talking top speed or corners here, But off the line, Most! standard gen 3 RX7\'s will not get past me on the quarter mile. High 13 seconds is about the average. As anyone who knows the rex will admit, 8 out of 10 standard 7\'s will not do much better than high 13 \'s or even into the 14\'s, But, I have to say, on a (DRY DAY) around a bend there is no contest, the rex will win! Now 335D is a even quicker, so fan of the rex I am, but a 335D BMW up against a standard gen3 REX, off the line to around the 100MPH straight line stuff, My money would be on the BMW, And 8 out of 10 runs the BMW would win.
 
I was only .2 behind a MR2 Turbo, Running around 13.8 (S) So don\'t be too ready to kick that 335D out as you my be supprised!:wave

Right, let\'s get one thing straight, before this turns into some urban myth...I didn\'t lose to the diesel and he had a rolling start as the lights changed and I was stationary. Having said that, my rex does the 1/4 in 13.5 so if what you say is right, the BMW is an embarrassingly good contender for my car.
 
Sad, but true. I only wish I hadn\'t posted it coz no-one else here would admit to it if it happened to them.
 
Now can we please not mention this again, and not on a third forum either :Grrr
