so im driving along, steady away at 50mph, when i get 2 yobo's in some 5 series with 2 exhausts out the back (10 plate). tight up my arse. THEN POW! we hit the dual carriageway and im on the inside hes outsiding it and using every horse in the stable i undertake him, the look of :O on there faces. Got a wave and a flash from them but was mint! (didnt go above 70mph of course)
Ha ha. I have had similar experiences with lesser hot hatches on the motorway. Very quick way to lose your driving licence!
I had a similar experience against my mates 08 530d. He couldnt believe it when i beat him. Hes getting a remap after christmas but im not telling him what ive done to mine in the last month so he will be surprised again.
A fellow at work did same but was an unmarked police car alot of points and a big fine was the end result haha
i know this is a stupid way of thinking but if its a white car i would probably not even bother haha, any other colour is fair game!
The unmarked ones I've seen around here when they've had the lights on have all been dark colours so I wouldn't go by that!
You've actually seen police trying to push people into racing..... I don't believe it. Every forum seems to have people say this and I don't believe it. Sorry
You'd be surprised. I lodged a formal complaint about under cover officers doing exactly this. Dead cert give away was the airial for their radios. That was a dark grey Audi.
nice story. Ive had my fair share but there comes a point when you realise you've made a point that you already knew. Ive also undertaken an undercover cop once but let go. You already know that the megane rs is a capable car and risking your life to prove it isn't really wise. Its even more silly that your doing it close to xmas and a catastrophic event if bad will be twice as hard on your family. There comes a time when you just leave it all for the trackday weekend.
I've had a friend who has also lodged a complaint about undercover officer in audi S3 pushing him to ride his golf R like a tool.
I've been baited by unmarked cars twice now, sadly it does happen as a lot tend to go for it. One of the times I was baited, was a mate though.
I love that the ones that are driving like tits are in audis hahaha merry Christmas all and drive safe.
By the way folks I don't race. I was doing 70 on a dual carriage way when the un marked car appeared up my rear, over took me slowed down to 50, I passed and then he did the same again. I took the Reg and description to the next station I passed.
I've given up reacting to people trying to tempt me in. I know full well my car will beat many many cars on the road. And besides... the whole country is full of straight line racers - meet me on a back road and then that's where it's at **The above all goes out the window when it's an Astra VXR. Those things need showing up haha
Any one had a play with a focus RS yet ?? Really want to no how my Megane 265 running 317bhp and 365ft would go against one ??
Depends what mods are on the focus. A friend of a friend has one 450bhp when I saw it and it was an animal its over 500bhp now (wish my dad won the lottery too) lucky sod.
My 250 has 2bhp less and 3lb/ft more than yours and I've had a play against a friend in his RS (his only mod is a catback). The difference is hilarious.. 50mph in 3rd gear, I leave him absolutely no problem and keep pulling away. Off the line also isn't a problem I also make very light work of my mate in his Astra J VXR (stock) I'm still jealous though that his car sounds SO MUCH better than mine, even with my exhaust on :/
My mate has a FRS and when I first got my 250 we went for a bit of a play. At the time both cars were standard, as far as I'm concerned there wasn't much in it at all, I could brake later and carry more speed in to the corners. In a straight line it was noticeably quicker. With 317bhp your car would leave one for dead.
i thought standard focus rs is quicker in a straight line. A modded rs no matter how small will leave a meggy. Dont underestimate the focus.
Stage 1 FRS probably would. Some people have got demonic FRS' The MP350 would also leave the Meg for dead
Well thanks to all for the feed back will let ya no how I get on if I come across one lol but all so more mods after xmas :cool:
What, Do you run yours with no Oil/Fluid or fuel yeah? Stock FRS won't have much on a tuned Megane. As soon as you touch the RS though the Megane has no chance. Stage 1 is ~350bhp and over 400lbs ft
this is an interesting watch, obviously youtube doesn't play out every FRS vs Meg scenario but a good watch and theres loads on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqNNU0Frfck
I could never come to terms with driving around in something that looked like the FRS, the engine... yes please but the look of it is just way over the top even without any of the tat people put on them.
I can't help but feel drawn towards the way it looks. I hate to say it, even the Ultimate Green! However.. 4000 of them in the UK whereas I like the fact I rarely see another Meg RS.
Recently had a go against a focus rs and was shocked. Thought i was going to get battered but came out a 2 lane roundabout in front and left it behind down the dual carriageway
