The thing is that peoples perspective of performance is wrong these days with sporty cars. I remember talking to a mate of a mate about hot hatches, told him I'd driven an R26 and he was like "Was gonna get one of them but got a Focus RS because the Megane was slow as shit", and I couldn't understand that. He was calling a car that does 60 in just over 6 seconds slow because a Focus RS was slightly quicker. It's all a willy-waving contest these days. I mean how often do we race away from the lights? I don't, I can't be bothered risking my license! I'll go find an NSL back road and push my car there...
I learnt when I had the Skoda that unless you want to risk yoyr license you can't push these cars on the road. The only time the 211bhp was any real use was overtaking.
