The argument is now settled - 172 Clios will blow a Civic Type R.

I think half a second is sufficient to fall into the blown away sector!!
yeah, but there are some right sheds at RWYB days that put in astonishing times and probably cost much less than a Type R or a Cup/172.....so......!Quote: Originally posted by Simon172 on 26 May 2003
fair points............But.......if you do standard vs standard then you could argue: one costs 2 grand more (CTR) therfore not fair in that respect!........ goes both ways really. And the slicks viper, chip and strip would probably still not equal the price of a CTR.......so.....

U LOST - admit it, get over it and move on! if u are prepared to go down the strip you have to acknowledge the possibility of loosing? Enjoy ur car for what it does do well!
Mate! I have never at any point not admited defeat over this. I knew from the start I was on a loser but Tim asked me for a dual so I did out of sportsmanship. If I had declined, all I would of seen on this site would have been.... CTR CHICKENS OUT TO CUP.. or CUP HAS CTR RUNNING SCARED.
Tim beat me fair and square. Theres no denying that.
What I dont like is some of you guys using ths as a fair CUP vs CTR comparison. Like the first post on this thread suggests...
I quote "Arguement settled, CTR will get blown by a 172/CUP".
