I love the R5GTT bias on here! Do you really think the 5 would beat the Twingo in the dry? Do you think the Twingo will go slower in the dry? Of course not. The gap is just too great....
Come on guys, we all love the 5, but it's showing its age against a modern version.
I understand your comments. Obviously everything has advanced a lot with regards to suspension, tyres and electronic 'spaz aids'.
But seriously, the Twingo has 15BHP more then the R5 but just over 100kg in extra weight. Not forgetting that the raider was running 15psi so it was probably putting out more power then the Twingo anyway.
I would like to see a dry run just out of curiosity but i've always been a bit wary of the 5's handling myself. I've always said i could get from A to B quicker in my 205 GTI then i could in the 5.
Straight line acceleration, now thats something different altogether. :wink:
