You obviously have had some painful experiences with your dad, I'll leave it well alone ;)
And the 172 cup has the best pwr/weight out of all the clio renaultsports (bar the v6) so there ;)
182 cup = 168 bhp/ton vs 172 cup= 171 bhp/ton ;)
Look my cup has been verifed 0-60 in 6.5 by numerous mags. The boxster s's 0-60 in 5.5 sec is a "manufacturers claim". With the boxster s being a poor example of one and mine being a quick one, and the added weight of a passenger they could quite easily be near equal. You just dont like the...
I wouldnt say they were girls cars, not as aggressive as a 911 but they handle amazingly and have a fair bit of poke. I would trade in my cup for one.
Evo have them as their sports car of choice and thats over elises and the like.

yeah with quite a bit more power. The original boxster s has 260 bhp and a bhp/ton of 200 according to evo. Maybe I have a good example of a cup and his boxster was a bit sick ;)
Well mate you do have a full fat 172 which is about 0.5 sec slower to 60 and the extra passenger he was carrying would account for the extra weight and therefor slower acceleration due to a reduced pwr/weight. And it wasnt a tiptronic, there wasnt any rev slurring between changes. With these...
I had a shot on a private road just the other day against a old model boxster s from a standing start. He had a passenger and I was on my own and there was nothing in it. Neck and neck, up into 4th gear.. After that I think he would have had me. He got a slightly better start due to the rwd...
Yeah Im desperate to get it lowered but I dont want a concrete ride or a missing front bumper from speedhumps!
Cheers for all the other comments. It needs a wash first!

Im sorry to p!ss on your campfire mate but my 172 cup is 100% std and got a 15 sec dead on a slippery 1/4 mile track. ;)
And my terminal was 97 mph.
:P
Oh and it was my first ever 1/4 mile ;)

Whats the widest rubber I could go for on a std 172 cup with turinis? I know the alloys are the same width as the 182 so 205's should be a prob. Can they go as far as 215's? And would this affect handling or acceleration? I wouldnt have thought so as it isnt increasing the rolling diameter...
