Don't get me wrong before im crucified, i've had my G for coming up on a year on wednesday and I love her to bits. I can see the speed and satisfaction in terms of power delivery, not many cars can put their foot down and take off instantly in pretty much any gear.
But is it more a case of being fast for what they are, on paper there are plenty of things that should beat it, startlet turbos for example, civic EK9's (although rare). People talk of being quicker than type R's etc but my G was never quicker than my mates red top corsa and was left for dust by my mates Golf G60.
I was trying to catch a BMW 320D on the motorway the other day cause his bonnet was popped and I couldn't, it was neck and neck (I think he thought i was chasing him). My G isn't stupidly tuned with basically a 65mm pulley, 4-2-1 granny and chip to suit, but thats not what im saying (there are "T40's" with over 200 bhp).
I guess what im saying is you always hear of how quick g40's are... but quick in terms of what...
(this isn't intended to be a g40 vs.)
