**volvokid** · Friday 19th October 2012, 11:05

**volvokid** · Friday 19th October 2012, 11:07

Also that accent is disgusting. :-P mate

**Dangerous Dave** · Friday 19th October 2012, 12:19

LOL, Volvo guy looks like he's cruising with his arm on the door.

These days there's lots of quick cars, usually I don't care as long as they stay out of my way.

the power to weight ratio would be about the same, looks like he had the run on him off the roundabout if he kept going the t5 would have pulled back easily

**Kingsford G** · Friday 19th October 2012, 14:55

The power to the weight poss but the torque is more on t5 and doesn`t look like he was flooring it anyway.My saffy wasn`t the fastest on here but to Hull and back the longest journey I took it for no 1 matched it off roundabout normally just kept 70 on a cruise.

i have raced a 306 gti-6 in a standard v70 t5 auto and he was just about keeping up with me

**Dangerous Dave** · Friday 19th October 2012, 15:00

And at the end of the day, it was a POS Peugeot

In what way kept up with you? as quick as you or you pulling away slowly.

Was your 480 modded or was there something wrong with the pug. Should have been quicker than any of the 480s.

i was just and only just creeping away from it, they are a fast motor mate, i used to have a citroen bx 16v with 160bhp and weighed around 900kgs that was a rapid little thing

From personal experience, I'd say the volvo wasn't in 2nd when it came off the roundabout so wouldn't have been on boost. I've had lots of run-ins with the bournemouth PUG club and not one of them has touched my heavy old buss when it came to a head to head.

I do love my 2nd gear

480 just had a panel filter. 306 was Silverstones own, so thrashed but well maintained i've of said. Pug felt gutless

Fecking loved mine. Defo quicker than what people think!
Mate has a 205 with a Gti-6 engine with a few mods. Still couldn't keep up and I had a car full to the roof with camping gear and 3 up. Great little cars though. It is what it is, you can't compare it to bigger engines. Like comparing a T5 to a Veyron.

me, i've been beaten by a pug recently he just got the better of me.....

and with baby no.2 imminent i just got no choice but to put him back under cover again

**smithy** · Saturday 20th October 2012, 16:20

ive played with a few pugs in the past but they was always a spec in my rear view mirror up to 70 mph .but i will say that the bx 16v had the mi16 engine and they was fast and looked good too in the day .that t5 was not trying you could tell that

do you not think it was the mi16 that had the bx 16valve engine?

I know I'm a bit, well, squiffy. But I can't work out what you just said.
Mi16 is the engine, not the car (I tried explaining this to brothers landlord who still insists he has a Gti-6 engine, not an Mi16. The 6 is the gearbox ffs, gti means §§§§§§§§) The later iron blocks are §§§§e... I know this after owning a 2.0 Citroen ZX 16v, and it was sloooooow. The alloy 1.9 was so much revvier (is that even a word?)
