That's what I thought.. I'd imagine the ST that was taken round by Redline mag didn't have a full on professional racing driver behind the wheel that knew the track like the back of his hand either..

thats not really pants though is it, iirc the meganne R26R record sits at 8:17, 13 seconds off and without a LSD

the megs time is a full lap!!!! thats a good 30 sec longer, so 40 sec faster than the ford, my standard r26 has done a 840 in heavy traffic with a numpty behind the wheel :signLOL: i was there when redline did it, the white st on the cover belongs to a friend of mine,
