« on: March 25, 2011, 03:26:06 pm »
Surprise...surprise.

EVO this month put the standard RS3 against.....wait for it.......

an Enzo
A 350bhp aftermarket Focus RS and the Litchfield 400bhp Impreza.

I'll give you one guess which comes last :sad1:

According to Autocar (I only bought it because of the RS3 on the cover but turned out alright with the MP4-12C Book free) the £2k bucket seats are sh*t!

I can understand why they would compare it against the 350Hp focus RS (similar power) and the Impreza (AWD bench mark) but why the f%$£ would you put in an Enzo.

I haven't read it yet but they do that to see how it compares to a bit of everything.

For example a RenaultSport Clio does very well against the GT3 RS and Ferrari in the Evo Car of The Year a couple of years ago.

I think they try to point out that with a good driver even an Enzo couldn't keep up.

Autocar reckons that an M3 would not be able to keep up with an equal driver!

Do you see what I am getting at?

B-roads and all that.

IF, a big IF I had 40k... I'd have an R32 and an Exige I think :) Best of both worlds.

I can hear the questions at EVO towers now.......

Oi Harry! we're going to test some hatchbacks on the Col de Vence, what supercar do you fancy driving across there in? :laugh:

Oh, and the Enzo made mincemeat of them all :grin:
