Lexx is right and the fact that these can be used against you should be enough (but remember no one likes driving like an idiot lol), but we ALL know what its like or what people can be like with any performance orientated car. I cannot say anything as I sure as heck use my car, but I'm always thinking ahead and using my noggin as to whether that little spurt or overtake is ... right for that moment. You just don't know what might happen so be safe
I'm not a massively long member but I have been on here a while to see the many posts and similar replies like Lexx's showing disapproval. Its good that Lexx explained exactly why this is. Not necessarily because you're driving like an idiot (I'm not saying you were btw lol), as said we all like performance (thats the point of the site and the car in part) but simple things can land you in trouble and no one...wants to be in trouble lol
Also good when you mentioned about the under 60 thing, as you indeed do not need to be 'flying' to have fun with sports cars, sharper cornering and flowing bends can give you just as much fun - while being safe - than doing a million miles an hour lol.
With that in mind I still found it interesting and amusing to read. I've often wondered about the new Astra VXR's (not sure if you meant the old or new one) and just how quick they are compared to the Zed, considering there about the same power level. I do find anytime I pass one (unlike Focus ST's...) they do not try and start a 'competition of the willy' lol. Maybe one day I'll meet one and if I'm honest I may indeed entertain it (if I feel suitable and safe for the surroundings )
These are good little posts, its said, moderator jumps in with good reason and explains! and the person takes on and everythings good. There are too many 'cool story bro' threads on here at times lol (mind you there is I admit the odd one that deserves it).
