yeah but most vans dont get flung round corners, they are used for what theyre designed for, carrying shit
ZS is 110bhp and weights 960kg

becaus the laws of physics mean that at 120 in a modern car, your pretty safe while its fairly dead onthe motorway and unless someone changes lane in front of you, you will be ok. At 150, with no other car on the road, motorway bends start to become corners. As in theres a chance you might lift off, or get a bit of over/understeer etc. Ie, at 150 you could have a crash all on your own whereas at 120 it would pretty much take you falling asleep, someone elses error or going over some ice/diesel which would cause a spin at any speed.

erm the ammount of other people you will kill?!
If your doing 150 and you crash and die, who gives a f**k? You knew what you were doing and you made that choice. If you hit a family doing 60 on the opposite carriage way head on though, people WILL give a f**k
you can never say oooo but theres no one around at so and so hour. You can never know that. Could be someone out walking a dog or a piss head walking home or anything

Ive been 150 in a mates pulsar. Its fast yes. And its exilerating. But you yorkshire lads seem to be making a habit of it. I like to go fast, but fast for the road im driving on. ie 60 on a country lane is fast. Making a habit of driving at 150 is asking for trouble. I might crash at 60 on a country lane and I MIGHT die. IF you crash at 150 in a van your PROBABLY going to die. And chances are you will hit a few other things aswell. I love driving and love driving fast in the right place at the right time, and have no problem with others doing the same. But i think you lads just need to be a little more aware of the speed your doing.

to be honest boys I dont think these speeds are big or clever.
120 IS acceptable at the middle of the night on a motorway just. But when your starting to talk 150pmh, thats dangerous on any road. The ammount of damage caused with that speed behind you is phenominal.
Think you boys should think about this a bit more if you want to keep your liscence/life/van as the way things are going it sounds like it could all end in tears.
I speed, and I go sideways etc, but 150 is unacceptable imo. Once yes, topping your car out for the first time is just one of those things you do. But racing up to 150 is a bad idea imo.
Have a think boys
A little food for thought.........
That is seriously bad news
If mods dont think its acceptable please remove, but I think i have given sufficient warning, and it makes a good point

What kind of car do you want?! The astra just seems like a astra with a big power engine in there.
What do you want this car for?
-
imo these are different kinds of cars
Astra and A3 are similar but the clio is a different kettle of fish.
A3 is a lovely cruising car, handles well, but wont be a patch on the clio imo. Never been in a sporting clio though but they are regarded as some of the finest fwd machinery about. The audi is heavy and a bit bigger aswell.
Imo the astra is the worst of the 3. I like how they look, but ive never heard anyone say a good thing about one in terms of performance? That aint to say they arnt quick, its a 2.2 turbo aint it? same engine nearly as the vx220? But thats a whole lotta torque steer lol when it comes on boost. And they dont look that sporty either.
Clio would be my choice. They are rattly and french and have problems, but they are very fun cars.
If you do alot of motorway miles and have fun at weekends, audi, if you dont do many motorway miles. clio

I have this feeling that the vans/nova will like to pirouette at the slightest lift?
