I think what he may also be getting at, is that a vehichle in the right, and trained hands, doesnt always matter on 0-60's etc, its all about how you drive it. Police traffic drivers are highly trained and extremely compentent, and this is the reason they can sometimes keep up with even the most powerful of cars, even in std cars like Vectra's etc, simply because the drivers they are chasing, havent got a clue how to drive the car. 99% of drivers who drive a fast car, have no actual idea how to drive that car to its maximum, to reach the cars limits, and are, in a lot of cases, scared to put their foot down as much as they could. On paper, the R32 would probably beat the 1.6 Civic to pieces... but obviously, in this case, Andy is showing he is not only in a rather fast car, but also that he knows how to handle it and is a skilled driver when it comes to acceleration and correct use of gears etc... So Andy can take a personal victory in tis as well as a marque victory... nice one matey!!

But the bit aabout being "highly trained" does amuse me..esp when i still do daft things...like park too far over the kerb...and botch parallel park...We are human..contary to what ever propoganda we (and our police driving school) peddle

ok, just to clarify :- here is abit of an idea of how quick the civic is ! would that be using a mobile phone whilst driving sir....or not in proper control of your vehicle....hmmmm lol, i have no idea of who that is in that civic, just an example of how quick they are, honestly
