This article makes a proud owner of Euro like myself even more proud...

I think sometimes cars with high horsepower are difficult to handle when compared with moderate powered Honda Euro. esp when their weight distribution is not ideal. (M3 could be an exception, but it is anohter league up, price-wise at least ~£43000)..

That's awesome. I was very surprised at the lap time compared to the Volvo, only 0.5 of a second slower. Not bad for almost half the power and heaps less torque.

actually volvo is the one which 0.5 second slower, despite having larger HP

They said it was the volvo's TCS having too much intervention around corners that slowed it down.

I wonder how much difference the euro would make around a track with and without TCS on....
