that would make for a fun day i reckon!

we could name it " beat the barge" not to hard for most of you lot though!!

I think although as standard my car would beat a slightly modded silvia hands down, its got to be said that if each car was given 1k to make as much power/speed/handling ability as possible, then the silvia would win.

Straight line stuff I think you might just about keep up with a fairly basic S12, but if you're thinking of turning a few corners then you've got no hope

Tell that to the owner of this one!!! http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?...71681&hl=en-GB

All this guys done is lower it on shrter springs/standard dampers, new wheels and a backbox. You're forgetting a few things, pelequin limited slip diff, very thick anti-roll bars, less weight than a standard silvia and its actually got a reasonable weight distribution, these ti's are not reguarded by those who know them as one of the best "q" cars ever for nothing you know, my last car was a lightweight mk2 golf gti, lowered 60mm, 205/50/r15 goodyear eagle tyres, eibach anti-roll bar kit. and this rover genuinely corners as good!

I was under the impression the weight of a 620ti is 1365 kg. Not sure the weight of a standard Silvia, cant see it being heavier than a 620 to be honest.

Not being funny, but wasn't your previous Silvia an Auto? My ti had full system exhaust, induction kit and the boost turned up to just before the fuel cut (just under a bar if memory serves me? Was a while ago now, so I could be wrong, but it was around there im sure.)

It was exactly the same speed as a bog standard Astra GTE 16v, the same car I beat in my Silvia with an exhaust, filter, intercooler and boost turned up. Spose races across the dual carriageway don't prove that much. Just food for thought.

Either way, mine was a fun car to have. Me and a few mates went out dressed as old man, flat cap and driving gloves the works and spanked a few of the local tossers in their Saxo's. Was a fairly entertaining way to spend an evening.

std silvia mk1 is 1135kg, mk2 silvia is around 1170kg, mine was 1240kg with the bodykit and those rather heavy supra leather seats.come on nots, you don't think your gonna come on a s12 forum telling us how good a rover is against a s12 and not get us biting do you ? lol

, alls that i say is, lets see it at 20 years old and see if its still on the road, let alone still perform like it did when it came out of the factory,

just a little friendly banter

i know how good silvias are,

I miss my old one very much.

i doubt very much that my car would still be on the road when its 20 years old! my owners manual says that it weighs 1128kg for the ti. the diesel one weighs 1350kg and the 623 weighs 1346kg. no way would a modded ti be the same speed as an astra gte!!!

if thats the case then an astra gte would be able to beat a bimmer 330!! cos thats what i managed to hang off the arse off!

Did he know that you were trying? Or were you at a red light, I managed to stay behind an Aston Martin DB7 at a level crossing for almost 3 mins the other day....... in a Vauxhall corsa!!!!
