Hybrid v 5 turbo

Yep tbh it cant have been a highly modified one tho if you flew past him as the 2 i know of (160bhp fully stripped and 200bhp) go very well upto 120 then the ride starts to get abit scary for them and they will back off!!!

I had another go with my other mates stripped 160bhp one with his boost turned right off and from the start i pulled like a train on him which he wasnt pleased about.........Turned the boost back up and it was the other way round!!!

Weird that....mine was probably only about 170 (at a guess...several bleedvalve tweaks up from the setup 150bhp!) and tonked my m8 in his 206gti and his was off the clock (130-135 IIRC) Not stripped and std wheels....certainly flew up to that speed as well

I would say it mustve been near on standard (or the driver was mothering it) for a valver to be able to pass it easily...................I was playing major chase past 90 on the 200bhp one and even the 160bhp one!!!

Would you say your 5 was as quick as your cup Chris?

**Chris n`nic** · 29-09-2005, 14:51

Not too far off but no...not as quick. The thing I had to get into my head was revving the Cup. At first I thought the 5 was quicker on a little test I did where I join the motorway and floored it in 5th....obviously to get the most out of the cup I was better dropping it a gear or two. I really miss it thou and will defo get another. They are only seen as unreliable because people pump silly boost with little mods (me included!

) Mine had 223000miles on it when it blew (totally my fault). Fixed it and sold it but it was running better/quicker than ever when it was sold.....

God I loved that car lol
