Just be careful, it's not worth getting hurt or wrecking your car over.
I love the sound of a Cinq beating a 206, but I have to agree that it's not worth the risk of injury or damage to your car, more importantly yourself, and even more important - anyone else!!
I drive very quickly when I get the chance (less & less these days due to speed cameras, caravans etc....)and love the feeling of speed (don't we all!!)
Without sounding too patronising, may I make a suggestion which could allow the race to go ahead, but on MUCH safer terms!
If racing 'head to head' (i.e. at the same time) you are going to be concentrating as much (if not MORE) on getting past/keeping ahead/beating the 206 as you will be concentrating on the road ahead.
This makes for dangerous driving and means you are not fully focused on driving 100% even though you are probably driving much faster than you would if you were 'normally' driving fast (if that makes sense??) because you will be concerned with the other car....
My suggestion would be to take it in turns over the same route.
This way:
* You both still get to drive on the same stretch of road.
* You can both fully concenrate on YOUR own drive without the distraction of what the other driver is doing.
* There's less risk of crashing because no one willbe trying to overtake the other.
* There is no argument that 'you wouldn't let me past' or 'you cut me up'.
* You might well do it quicker because you level of focus will be that much greater.
How you time it is up to you (maybe even sit in each others car as you do it, so you both know it's done fairly??)
Most of all BE SAFE!......but have fun!!
You'll beat the Pug
EASY!!!
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for ya!
