World of Wheels Protege article

Check out Novembers World of Wheels article of testing at Shannonville. For the stock P5:"0-100 in a rather poor 11.4sec!" "The P5 was a complete dog on the track (1min:30sec)" "The Dunlops became Dunslops" "Brakes faded in one lap" "chassis excessively soft"
P5 project car: "0-100 10.8" "more space to stop than stock" 1:25 lap.
Mazdaspeed:1.23 lap at 7/10s
"goes to show that what makes a great street car and a great track car can be two very different things"

Hm…. for some reason I question about the lap times.. Cus it really depends how many times they took it on the track... and also how familiar the driver is with the car.... not saying that he doesn't know how to drive... But u really have to know the feel of the car well before u can really give the full potentials.
But honestly any stock car will do bad on the track… ie.. 4 seasons street tires on the track is a problem to begin will. Everyone knows that the stock Dunlops have really soft side wall... But I mean if they put better tires on the stock car I am sure it would of improved the lap time.

yeha ...that sounds a bit doggy ...give that pro to someone in the club..then run times.....see what you run then..i'm sure it would change a lot....the person who drove it probubly took the corners thinking it was a honda...
