Were all the cars standard? On similar tyres? Exactly the same skilled drivers? If you google it you see forums posts of Boxster drivers boasting about how they beat a 350z, and vice versa on more Nissan branded forums. Both are very closely matched in terms of stats, so doubt one would completely annihilate the other and it would be a close run thing, all things being equal.

Least the 95 ron isn't too expensive 95 ron *spit* - only put in super!

I know, the R33 does drink the juice...

Haha thats what I was expecting! Now, a race with an R33 would be good

I had to like that post...just because I can

I am not denying his experience, but from a point of view of gauging whether a car does this or does that you would be foolish to rely on the evidence of one person to form an opinion, regardless of their experience. You could give them more weight within a group of people commenting but I would not say categorically that a Porsche Boxster S is inferior to a Zed because he says so.

Not the video above, the one you mentioned about them racing the M3 etc round a track...

I am not a Porsche fan but it is a capable car from what I have heard. It hasn't aged well but the most recent edition does look stunning. The video you are referring to Will is one made in Japan where they raced them all, clearly driver skills have a lot to play as much as the cars but the Boxster in that race was the non S version so a 2.5 flat 6 and cannot compare to a Zed with a whole extra litre to play with, the S which is a 3.2 clearly puts it much more on par with the Zed. And yes, a roadster can handle, as someone mentioned if its built as a roadster then it will handle well, the best handling car on the road the Lotus Elise is a roadster... Matey boy in the garage remember is basing his entire conclusion on comparability on a sample of one, anyone else here when buying cars look at just one review or corroborate it with 20 others?

Not my cup of tea either, its feckin huge! So can you drive along the ceiling of the tunnel at Monaco now you have all that downforce

Yep that's the fella, now events manager at Croft I believe? Very nice chap helped me out with my VX220 purchase last year coming to check them out for me

I think we need a sticky in the exhaust section on these 'Infinity' ebay questions, we must get this at least once every few weeks and we go through the same process each time of spelling out the pros (price) and the cons (fit, poor quality, lack of customer service, warranty etc etc). The short answer really is that its technically unbranded i.e. you have never heard of them, its on ebay from an unknown seller, its about a third of the price of the next nearest competitor it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out its going to have problems.

R33 GTSTs come with a kind of over boost, it delivers boost in two stages so 0.5bar up to 4000 revs then something like 0.7bar after that - I think having it switchable means when stuck in traffic/around town your car is a bit more drivable on lower boost levels?

Stunning car, love it! Don't suppose you bumped into Mike in the red VX220 whilst running at TT?

Pictures!

Very cheap, although potentially waiting a month to receive them from China....

Tarmac, CS and a few other traders will be able to help - if you are on a budget Scorpion/Cobra will be touted about which are decent budget options.

Good points made by Dan I actually ran my Zed whilst living in Putney and Richmond which are both in zone 3 in London no problem. http://www.confused.com/car-insurance/articles/petrol-more-cost-efficient-than-diesel-when-buying-used-car

I thought these northerners were meant to be made of sterner stuff

VX220 mate fast, small and nimble around town, does 40mpg what more could you want

Certainly is a powerful machine after a map - plenty of reviews kicking around (have to admit I did cast an eye at the petrol twin turbo at one point) comparing the diesel to the petrol...maybe don't go the whole hog to rep mobile hell and at least get a petrol

The eBay wheels are growing on me haha.

What is it with you and stickers today coldel? Me feel like sticky

I need a residents parking permit where I live, I just wrote the reference number of the online application on it to ward off any unfriendly parkies. In case you were wondering, its not for sale

+1 on the sticker until help arrives!

Will probably get a proper bracket above the exhaust but a £1.99 ebay sticker will do for now
