Clio vs M3?

[essexdon]

M3 seems to struggle to get the power down

 

[Struggler]

kinda sucks being all spead up, but i guess it would be boring watching the entire race.

On those types of roads a clio SHOULD be able to keep up with an M3 quite easily to be honest.

Narrow, twisty stuff, rather unsurprisingly, isnt a 1500kg, RWD cars, favourite hunting ground.

Vs?

TBH all I see is two cars out on the road together being driven dangerously. I suppose the M3 was meant to instantly pull away by 8 miles? Renault scalps another hyper car.

M3 vs 1.4 is hardly fair.

 

[Munson]

Well spotted.

i tried my 172 against an E46 M3 the other day, on a dual carriageway.

he was pulling away, but not as much as i thought he would, wanted to get him on the twisties, but too much traffic meant we could play

did get a thumbs up off him though as we went different ways!

Went on a CS Yorkshire meet a few years back and one of the CS members favoured his wifes M3 to his own 172 Cup, he ended up having to go home as the twisty back roads cooked his brakes. He couldn't keep up.

In a straight line though, M-series would make a Clio bend over with a tub of Vaseline on standby.

M3's scare kids in petrol stations iirc

I know what i would rather be in.

 

[Short Norman]

Thought i'd mention something else, seeing as everyone now thinks their clio is faster than an M3. With a good driver, or someone who can actually drive RWD quickly ...

An M3 would rip a clio a new ar53hole.

Hell, i could keep up with a lot of highly tuned 1*2's in my 328i Sport with 150k on it.
