Whipped by a Honda Type R

This has to be a wind-up so come on who is it?

Each to his own but imo the MG in all its hideous guises has got to be one of the crappiest marques ever to darken the annals of British car makers, except maybe for Rover...

Now..I've said it!

I may be wrong but it has what looks like a FMIC which means someone has bolted a turbo on. It was not originally a turbo car so you cant really say that MG's are fast! Its a bit like getting a Smart car and sticking a turbo hayabusa engine in it and then boasting that 'Smart cars are super fast!!'

Put any MG with the original internals and no extra blowers (but you can upgrade chip/exhaust/filter) against a remapped S4 and then see who wins a drag race.

that mg is running a T series rover 220 turbo engine (2000cc DOCH 16v turbo). but just about everything is custom built. about 700bhp now.

Brett - is the MG running 4wd? I had a mate once who was into Rallying, he had a Rover Turbo running 400bhp odd and he could keep the thing in driveshafts or CV joints...it would shred them almost monthly.

I remember the Rover 220 turbo having torque steer/chassis twist similar to the Metro Turbo and Saab 9-3 Viggen. Ho hum.

You think the 220 coupe turbo had problems. Built this a convertible a couple of years ago. has full coupe turbo running gear. along with GT28 turbo. makes 250bhp with torque to match.. LOL

Rovers have there place in the motoring world, i mean Halfrauds need to make money from selling clear light rear clusters and blue lights to someone right?

Think these boys are quicker but I suspect by FWD you mean front wheel drive.

Wanna pit myself up against an E39 M5 next. Raced the new one, he was leaving me but not by much, I expected more!
i have an E39 M5..bring it on...im up for a challenge..

Ok S4 Woody boy. Obviously for YOUR SAFETY this wet weather is not in YOUR FAVOUR. When the weather improves, bring down dat beast and I will show u what an SKN map can do. You've obviously forgotten the potential of the V6 beast. Prepare to have your soul reaped.

Brett, what is that V6 beast of yours running now in Bhp and torque figures?

Brett - do you know Mark Eley (the right surname I think). Just a long shot. He is into his CRXs and Rovers and ran a 216 cab turbo, santa pod regular etc.
