I had a P-plater blow past me at a hell of a rate this morning. He was in a Pulsar Turbo GT.
As the Gods of Turbo would have it, the next set of lights found me lining him up. He was revving, and sounding like the car would leave me standing alone at the lights.
Anyway....
The lights turned green and we launched. By the time I hit 3rd, I was laughing myself silly. I had him pegged in all gears. Easily.
#edit# For the Authorities: Never at any point was the land speed record exceeded.
Are these things that slow by nature..?? Or did I just come up against a really crappy one.

Not heard of them?
The only pulsar I knew was turbo'd is the ET
It's official - I'm an amateurops:
If we're talking about a Pulsar ET Turbo, then yeah, not that quick. Put it this way - quick for the mid 1980s, but these days I'd suspect a manual Astra 1.8 would be able to give it fairly strong competition.
Currently: no Opels
Formerly: 2001 Astra CD sedan, 2003 Vectra CDX
Was it one of these??
Im not surprised at all you whooped his ass, what a way to do it!
The ET pulars are only 100kw or so i used to have one. The one on the above picture is the GTIR Pulsar Godzilla aint it? There 175kw from factory and run the same turbo as the s14 s15.
There quick. ET are slow though.

Yep GTiR AWD/Godzilla and 175kw is spot on!
Sorry... It was an ET. Could not remember what the letters were.
Concensus seems to be that I shoulda whipped his little butt. Which I did very easily.
I was surprised that for all the noise and BOV that it was so slow. Especially considering how quick he blew past me in the first place. Mind you I was just chugging along @ a legal 60kmh.
so it was an old ET pulsar.... there fweakn anchient nowadays..you wouldnt see much around coz there all falling apart..
