Out of this world.

okay i drive a GRANDE PUNTO 1.4 16V GP, just for abit of fun yesterday i possed as a rich, spoilt, daddys boy and walked in to a VW garage with so say a £25k budget.

i took a VW SCIROCCO 2.0 TSI out, and at just over 200 BHP, and a DSG box, you can literally light the tyres up when you put your foot to the floor.

fancy letting an 18 year old take a 28k car out, funny thing was he didnt ask for my age, i also didnt show any driving license. haa.

95 MPH on a dual carriageway, 30 seconds after getting behind the wheel.
''if you want, floor it'' the chap said.
AWESOME.


anyone tested anything better?!

OK not exactly a showroom test, but for £90 I got 15min on track in this.

Ive driven a Citroen C6 2.7HDI, Lander Rover Discovery 2.7TDI, Range Rover Sport 2.7 at motor show test drives.

Vauxhall Astra VXR 240bhp though the front wheels. Anything more than the lightest of touches in 1st or second gear causes masses of torque steer and sends the traction control into hyperdrive

Was a good fun drive but couldn't live with it on a daily basis, crazy insurance, tax, tyres and fuel bills.

I did the 180bhp Punto Arbarth which was nice lol

Your 18 you are not normally insured to test drive cars under 21 or 22 i believe. So you get pulled you get done for driving without insurance. Fair enough the garages should make the necessary checks, but if something happens whilst you are driving that car it could get the dealership shut down.
Do you really want the burdon of numerous people loosing their jobs so you can have a bit of fun, loose your license and whaever else may happen if you crash the car. :bang:

moved to the top secret non fiat section

 

[Garree001]

My best credit was a 400hp Jag. Was rather fun :devil:

I have driven something more powerful though - only has 300hp or so, but over 1000 Ibft of torque. It was a Leyland Wright bus

So me on about expensive and pricey kit, or powerful kit

:devil: :slayer:

A bit left field this, but how about a Dodge Ram pick up truck.....with a 5.9 Cummins Turbocharged and Intercooled diesel. Not one of your common or garden B-Series, but one to Marine Spec. In other words, 480 bhp and 1300 Nm of torque.

It had so much torque in fact that after it had stopped spinning its rear wheels in 4th, at full throttle in 5th it just slipped its clutch.

 

[fiatdownunder]

Erm, is a Ferrari Enzo bragging a little too much?

 

[herpsuk]

Audi S6, Merc S600L, Audi A8 W12, Bentley Continental GT Mulliner Park to name a few

 

[JFL]

paffin awesome to drive

my tipo is probably more powerful than that or at least close. depends how you measure power. in BHP i win, probably...

 

[dannygp]

No "test drives." But drove a Modified Jap Import MX5, Mini Cooper S JC Works and Elise on private track.

OK not exactly a showroom test, but for £90 I got 15min on track in this.

Crofty croft I would go for Aston tbh. LP640 is such a rip off.

 

[punto_matt]

911 turbo, cayenne turbo and Z4M for test drives :devil:

actually maybe not, is this one of the ones with 225bhp?

the only car i've test driven from a garage is a Mazda MX3 1.6 16v, didn't like it much, felt too long geared the engine seemed quite revvy in nature but not especially exciting, and the brakes felt unnatural they worked fine but lacked the feedback/response i'm used to. but my brother bought it.
