182 + £4k change + GDI/AWT = a lot quicker than the CTR
^^ if anyone is that bothered enough ;)
not exactly a like for like comparison though?
You could get a 2nd hand CTR for 12k and supercharge it for 4k = 300+ at the wheels

This is a silly arguement. Power to weight ratio in both cars is the same. Both cars are good.
The END.
Same driver, same track, same day?
Who cares which car won. Theyre both good cars for different reasons.
Strange how the CTR was 2 or 3 tenths slower round Angelsey that the FRS last time round...

Was there too with my Civic and got a few pics of you guys lapping on Sunday morning after the weather cleared. Will post them in the other thread when I can be bothered to resize them.
Have to say that both Nick Read and CupCake looked like they were trying hard whenever they went past me...
well tbh that CTR is 1.5-2k below what its actually worth (for reasons Im sure you aware of - if its the same car I think it is)
My (now ex) other half got her 172 back in 2002 so I have had 2.5 yrs of driving that round and racked up a fair amount of miles in both. Both have their pluses and...
CTRs are only really fully run in at 21k miles so I wouldnt worry too much about that mileage. You can also get a warranty extension at any dealer (prices vary so shop around).
Running costs on the CTR are a little higher (ins group 17) and a full tank of fuel (45 litres) lasts me between 160...
