Hot hatch drag race

Given the colt is down 30bhp on the BRAB and missing quite a bit of torque over its "twin", shows off what the BRAB is possible of ;)

If it was the BRAB, it probably would hae been with Clio, focus rs and mini cooperS :)

when the Brabus was in production it would certainly have to be against Megane 225 civic type R based on price alone,the Brabus was £18k.
I always wanted a Brabus but i couldn't afford one even back in 2007 when i bought my then ex demo CZT.
I liked the fact that no one would believe it was a smart car when they were watching it pulling away from them ;)   
The colt was never going to lose that race its the most powerful and lightest car in the drag race,but having owned a CZT and test driven a few swift sports the suzuki is way more fun just gutless :(

I always wanted one, and was amazed a year ago to see how "cheap" they are, compared to the 18k 5 years before.  So amazed, that I went out to buy one.

People buying them now are the winners.
