My mates just bought the Rover, its a bit chavved (has a Animal front bumper and Civic hoop spoiler, alloys etc etc).

Went to the Derby cruise last night and on the way back up the M1 a Civic and Impreza were racing, probably doing about 120mph. Anyway my mate dropped a gear, caught up with them more or less straight away and proceeded to absolutly cane the **** out of both of them. It was well funny the looks on the drivers faces as a chavved up Rover Saloon came flying past at 155mph was a picture.

See ya

Yeh the bloke who had it put the air filter next to the turbo it was probably 30bhp down on standard. All back to normal now, its not much faster than a Valver 0-60 but above that it absoltuly wipes the floor with me.

See ya

it was fine when he raced my mate he never mentioned any problems just admitted tht it was fast and he beat him. the rovers only do 60 in 8.5secs! my mate can hit about 7 in his valver, timed with a gtech meter and it seems pretty acurate with the other cars timed! but he beat the rover and it never caught him!

60 is meant to be 6.2 for the Ti. He told me that the Clio beat him I thought it was Craig or somat cos I kept up with your mates Valver. Duno i'll have to have another race with him. Its faster than jonboys Volv and mine was about level with that.

See ya

Nah they're faster than that the 420 GSi does it in 6.6 and thats not as powerful. Think 8.5 is for the 2 litre non turbo ones with 140bhp.

See ya

620Ti books at 197bhp (same as 420GSi) and 0-60 in 7 seconds. Had a race in my old 205 up to about 100 and it was pretty much even.
