Which would win in a drag race? Gentlemen......discuss...

Agreed! ;) If you get the FF you'll only start wondering how much quicker the cup would feel.

Rawmarsh has never been a village!

Cheers buddy! :)

EVO tested a VTS quicker than a so called phase quick Clio round a track - same driver. Work that one out?

Lol! How many different answers !? For straight line, the only thing you can base an opinion on is raw facts. 172cup has the highest power to weight ratio so in theory should be a fraction quicker than a 182cup. Also, same torque (according to EVO) as a 182 but lighter. In the real world...

113 - IvanDrago.

Abacus? Ah...non, these are 30mph to 70mph times not 0-60mph. 5.8 must be realistic looking at the times the other 3 cars posted. I posted this because it's another (more interesting) measure of how quick a car will accelerate.

As tested by Autocar magazine, 30-70mph through the gears....... Williams - 6.9seconds. 182cup - 5.8seconds. Also, Civic Type R (EP3) - 6.0seconds. MK5 Golf Gti - 6.3seconds. Interesting reading but like someone else said, there will be discrepancies between the same car.

I've heard this before regarding the Williams needing 3rd to hit 60mph. As a result, 7.6secs has got to be right. The figures do look a bit out when you consider a Saxo Vts will do 60mph in the same time. However, in the real world of driving, the Williams will obviously feel that bit quicker...

I'll be down at Renault first thing on Thursday!

Cheers lads! Superb info. That's all I need to know - looking forward to picking her up! ;)

So, I've finally parted with the Vts and I'm due to pick up a 172 cup tomorrow night. Can anyone help with a couple of quick questions as the site doesn't appear to have a search option - unless I'm mistaken. 1. I know they're 16s but what is the standard tyre size ? 2. Were the 172cup...

7.1 for a FF182? Autocar have tested a 182 at 6.3 seconds, have a look. EVO 6.5 seconds. Seems about right for a fwd car making over 160bhp/ton.

I'm sure this will have been covered before on here before but I did a quick search and couldn't find anything - apologies if it has! (I'm fairly new on here) I've read on other forums that a lot (or some) 182s don't make the power they should. In other words, standard cars making way less...
