AndyW Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I still note that the original poster hasn't even attempted to back up his original post with any form of hard data, obviously because the original claim was pure fantasy, but you know, I thought he might try anyway.On the one hand, today I whizzed past a lovely Slate Grey Mk5 Golf R32 on the A449 between Kiddy and Worcester, I literally watched him disappear in my rear view mirror.

AndyW Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 On the fly clearly means that you are trying when the over driver is not. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those really shift!hmm I may have seen the very same Golf R32 Possibly (well it was slate grey! which incidently if I ever get an R32 will be the colour I aim for!). I also overtook it on a duel-carraigeway but the A50 between derby and stoke... only doing the national limit. These lupo sports you know... who needs an R32? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 These lupo sports you know... who needs an R32? lolYeah... who needs a powerfull car, when you can have a moderate car which is "on the fly"I'm quite tempted to install an "on the fly" button to my works van, so that i can blitz down the outside lane every day on my way to work in an effort to overtake the traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappenhazbo Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 LOL i have never heard so much crap! The lupo might be nippy to 60 but thats about it. In an Ideal world the lupo gti needs around 180bhp and then it would be a tool for dispatching performance cars! I really like the idea of putting the 1.8turbo engine in the lupo. Or a civic type R lump. Nothing to heavy and with lots of go.The lupo gti is good for low 20's 0-100. say around 23seconds if i remember correctlyRight just off the top of my head:audi tt 225bhp 16 seconds.Mini cooper S Low 20'sSeat Leon Cupra R 16 secondsHonda Civic Type R 16 secondsHonda Prelude 2.2 16 secondsHonda S2000 14.5 secondsFord Focus RS 15.Carrera 4s 12secondsBMW M5 10 secondsEnzo 6.9 secondsyamaha R1 5.5 Seconds125bhp Lupo gti is 8 seconds behind an Audi TT which I would call a benchmark. 225bhp is hot hatch / perfromance car IMO.this is a stupid thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made him eat my dust by overtaking at 40 mph over the speed that he was doing! That's how fast these Lupo's are......the Veyron was parked, but in line with this thread, I overtook him on the fly didn't I?

DAS HAPPIWAGEN Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Haha this thread is brilliant. Now I may be wrong with this statement as I've never owned any of the cars mentioned, but I did my research on parkers facts & figures and concluded that:Its already been said that the GTi is slower than a VTS. Now in the grand scheme of things, the top of the range VTS still isnt quick. As long as its not completely bottom of the range, most "rep-mobiles" (3/5 series, Vectras, Insignias, a4's, mondeos etc.) will keep up with a VTS until it tops out at 127mph.What the lupo does do however, regardless of engine size, is make you smile. I've converted 2 of my mates who drive "big boy" cars. They both used to slate my car, until they drove it, both of them turned round and said its fun to drive. Just a 1l on coilies but its still chuckable. Just depressing putting the power on after the apex, only for nothing to happen.Now what really annoys me is people who drive quick cars slowly. I'm following a corvette down a country road, hes sat at 35-40 so at the next clear straight i move into the other side of the road at which point he notices, floors it and leaves me. ONLY TO CARRY ON AT 40 WHAT A FACKING TOOL. Or another day I was following 2 jap cars in convoy. I overtook them as they were sunday driving an I had to make pace, Only to get overtaken by them 30 seconds later, absolutely screaming in VTEC trying there hardest to make eye contact with me as they pass. Well done you overtook a 1l.ah well.... Edited January 25, 2010 by DAS HAPPIWAGEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
