demuire Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 Article No 1 Article No 2 Hmm, I wish I had an account with RallySportMagazine... What a weapon, I knew it was fast, but I didn't know it was THAT fast. While I was at Mt Buller someone told me about it and I thought "umm... yeah, right". 750hp, ~50psi of boost, 0-100 in 1.9 seconds on slicks, 0-100 in 2.1 seconds on street tyres... Bloody hell!!! It didn't do very well though, I think it broke on one of the runs. And even if it didn't break, it still wouldn't have done very well. Alistair Bye (in the Sherrin Hire GT3) pretty much beat him in every single run... And it was less than a minute faster than Iain and I in the Mini (which is a MUCH slower car...) Quote
Super Jamie Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 and if you've ever seen the jeremy clarkson movie with the modified rs200, or even played gt4 with a stock one, they're twitchy impossible little things to drive. good on paper, a pain in the ass IRL from everything i've seen about them Quote
PeanutBoi78 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 They are an excellent car my ps2 is f*&kd and i have 2 play ps1 but gt2 i have one that does 330+km/h and makes skylines look like snails. :P Quote
demuire Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Posted June 27, 2005 Heh, short wheelbase, mid (or rear?) engine, tiny car with HUGE power, I wouldn't expect anything less than a twitchy impossible little thing to drive :P But oh my, how much fun :D Quote
styler Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 my dream car! they are so unheard of but so awesome. havent driven one but id snap up any chance to. they look a bit ugly though but the specs are pretty insane. damn quick :P Quote
demuire Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Posted June 27, 2005 Heh, I don't think you'll see many, I think there's only one in Australia :P Quote
PeanutBoi78 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 They are pretty easy to handle actually. :P :D Quote
Mr Revhead[RL] Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 even the other manufactoers were sayign the RS200 was gunna clean up if group B carried on... THESE CARS ARE PURE HORN. RS200 > everything. of course logic doesnt come into it Quote
Ratty Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 dam that car is tiny but has big hp and great suspention set up, but it wont fit my tools in the back dam all well the ute will have to do lol Quote
TOMsGPTurbo Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 they come with a price tag to match! Its funny did you know they have a 4wd like 2nd gear stick :P Quote
Super Jamie Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 nothing beats the mitsubishi colt power/economy lever TEN SPEED MANUAL!!! Quote
Redwarf Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 The same person also owns a genuine Ford GT40. Quote
demuire Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Posted June 27, 2005 Yes, this one I believe: No one person should be allowed to own this many nice cars... Jamie: 8 speed manual actually, I don't think the "power/economy" Colts ever came in 5 speed :P I used to have one... It was cool. Cheapest (to run), most reliable car I've ever owned. Yes, cheaper even than the mighty Corolla. Quote
