Fair doos m8..I thought that the 182 pulled away at 1st then the Focus came past...as meggerman said...forget the bends there are some straights on the vid where the cup didn`t get anymore speed coming out of the bend but stayed with it.....can there be that much different between a Cup and a...
Although that is a good vid it is only showing top end....get a Vectra cruiser that has a 155 top end and the same will happen but it doesn`t mean it is faster in other areas

I don`t have sound at work but does the other guy not know how to count? Surely he knows that `un` is going to come after 'deux'......I always use the horn to set it off...same principal as with counting....you kow when the last toot is coming and it always seems to work for me...alson what gear...
hmmm..My uncle had an E55 AMG merc...no end of niggly probs...now Audi A8 4.7....boot keeps randomly unlocking it self amongst other things...you can get good and bad motors no matter what you pay....my cup has gone through more warrenty than the car is actually worth (no exageration), rattles...
"Because we do get some people saying that we cannot get
200 bhp from this engine we have had a independent rolling road power read
out at Well Lane Turbo Center on a customers car and it gave 208 bhp
against 2003 on our rolling road "
What a great quote....2003 on their rollers? That explains...
I suppose the cups lighter back seats, and lack of a spare wouldn`t help the balance of the car too much. On the std springs I always felt that the back end of my Cup was very twitchy on fast sweeping bends...eibachs on and its a different story...much better and more stable.

I guess it`s more down to knowing when to give it some....if you think that the 182 is going to sort everything out if it snaps in the wet then so be it....yes it probably would be easier for a regular driver to bomb around in the wet in a 182 but I get round this by not doing it. If it`s wet...
My temp gauge goes up as normal but when up to temp it drops lower as the revs increase (up near the limiter the temp drops almost right down). When the car was running spot on it used to pull strong to the limiter with no obvious strain...now tho it slows quite at the higher revs. Could this be...
Works both ways tho m8....A 172 in the right hands would be fantastic too. 1 minute your saying that the CTR/S3 are better because they cost more then you`re saying that how good it is that an 18 year old 205 would past a 172 in the right hands. "Road racing " is a joke too.....everyone at one...
