I do against any comment saying that they are super fast in public road/bends. That's totally irresponsible.
this is why 1 alway stay 2 car leath away from the front car no matter how slow or fast I do. you just dont know what will happen in front.
I hate ppl that cuts you off or stay in the 3rd lane that is very irresponsible :thumbsdown:

E60 can't be as fast as a Civic (or other lightweight performance car) in TMS as it's almost 500KG heavier.
I wouldn't take hose numbers too seriously. It's fj after all.

Ok cool. If the abs doesn't come on, u cannot call it late braking so let's see how good ur braking is after ur brakes got upgraded.

do you mean the Type R?

shame they don't have Renault Megane or Clio sport or many Focus 2nd hand here, they are awesome and will
kill the civic easily, but then i could be biased because i am Song Bill.

how abt M3 v crazy modders 335i 00hp??? up TMS, what do you think?

I would say the delta integrale will be no match for the e90 m3. The king of tms has got to be the Honda civic though

M3s suspension is like magic, I don't think the 335 can match on tms even w pss9. Anyway, I think mikeHk Is the best person to cmt since he has owned both.
Some time ago on tms, I struggled to keep up w a conventional looking civic going downhill. If I knew the road better, I thnk at best I could just keep up though like I mentioned, I rarely go 100% if I don't see clearly at the exit of a corner.

I think the 335 with mad mods (kenji) will win uphill

No, for the same reason, in f1, the best starts have a little bit of wheel spin.
