lol i have the same enjoyment almost every weekend. My mate has a 1.3(!) cossie rep and i give him a beating, then everyone asks what the hell ive done to my car!
My cliosport sticker seems to be an open invite for people to try and race me!
Simon - you must either be a very good driver or the exige driver wasnt trying, theyre breathtakingly quick on track (though im sure would struggle on your average b road) and if only they made financial sense id have one in a second!
Also simon the 190 of the new elise is out, might as well...
What the feck is the VX GTS!
Obviously having a M3 on the drive is going to make me biast but its faster and lighter than the HSV so i cant see it being better, nur nicky nur nur!
Im pretty sure its an M5 rival opposed to the M3 as i cant see it bettering an M3. I know they do an hsv-r as well..is that the 410bhp one or does it get mader than that?!
lol thats funny my mate said the brakes were sh*t, it was too twitchy and the gearbox was too slow and heavy. Must of been a dodgy one
Frosty- It would have to be more than a bit to have those figures, the spacing between the last couple of gears (is it six speed?) would be very impractical...
Sounds like a misprint as i thought it was around 5 seconds. What theyve probably done is printed the 0-60 of a short ratioed car and the max of a long ratioed one so it appeals more. I know someone whose been on that track package and he said the clio was absolute crap!
I tell you what renault seem to be sh*t at quality control, the place in southampton needs a kick up the arse pronto! Theyre supposed to do a full check, and then your local dealer doublechecks. I would ask them to check the whole car again as they might not of bothered (Do you trust them?!) and...
Them wheels look nice, and easy to clean! so good choice. 40mm will be low enough i reckon as you cant get the rubber band tyres on 16inch wheels so the arch gap wont be big.
Ive seen the GTRS on a coughcorsacough and they looked really street racer and seem to have a diamond cut finish. Ive just seen the new elise 190 in a mag, with black wheels, i gota get me some!!
Optimax is well worth using, as has been mentioned thats how the 172 gets all its 172bhp. You wont be causing any damage by using 93 or 95ron though. Annoyling shell dont seem that bothered by keeping a constant amount of optimax in their garages.
The ideal thing to do is have optimax and get...
Anyone know how good these cars are?
Ive just been out on a drive on my favourite set of roads in kent and i overtook one just after a chicane style bend (i thought it was a mondeo at first!). He then overtook on the next bit of straight, obviously i didnt bother giving chase. They didnt...

Chris- With a car called zoe how on earth do you think you can beat me! lol
How much lower is the cup than the 172 then? Has anyone bottomed out in their cup yet?
