In this topic i would like to see some threads of runs you might have had in a Datto. It could be yours or a mates.

what have you run? on the street or strip?

I was with a good mate on Sunday night and had two mad runs on the highway. we were in a 1200 Sedan with a crazy worked A15 rev machine and we came up to a ford Laser turbo. looked standard but spooled up so hard it sounded nice. We riped half a car infront in every gear.
Then we came up to a Honda with Vtech black bonnet, monster tacho.
pretty much neck and neck on the roll start, reved so hard! but we got him off the mark at the next set of lights. those front weel drives will never learn. Munch munch.

I had a good run a couple of years back. I was on my way to work. Not one red light in over 30 minutes travel.

im constantly smashing ss commonwhores who think datto's are little 4 banger peices of ####, its that look on there face when i fly past em with the wheels still spinning that makes it all worth it.

phat_dat1200-is your 1200 powered by a ca18 ? I love it when dattos smoke v8s hehe

My slow datto can beat stock 6cyl family cars... but not much else lol

i loved it when the commy drivers gave me ####.... just makes the win that much more rewarding My 1600 didnt have a cooler for a while so it was very suprising for them haha

Had a go against a S55 Mercedes other day from robot to robot. Guys wife/girlfriend in the passenger seat was laughing and pointing at my ute parked next to em at the lights. Held him first thru second and dumped my foot down in 3rd to wheel spin past him on 0,9 bar boost. Next robot/stop and they wouldn't even look at my ute again! LOL

Ja, LOL, they never smile and point at the next robot do they. There used to be a guy that came to Wesbank every so often with a S55 AMG, would also only choose the Scoobies and the Audi S3's and such. One night the one guy in a blue ute, not unlike yours, got him to agree to a dice. He never pitched up again, the UTE left him trailing in a cloud of black smoke...

but does the ute bag them up at 100kph like an SL55 AMG in dyno mode .....pity no merc drivers knows how to get there car in dyno mode

good stuff beating the rich guy, do you ever get the "whats the retail on that thing"
i did once from a clubby driver......was a weirdly funny experience as i had a car full of people and we were facing up hill
dont think i stood a chance with the lowly L series agains the 6 litre
