i think its because the extra weight and the lower bhp/ton the gear ratios have been adjusted to give a quick acceleration time like that of the 172/182.
i cud be completly wrong but i makes sence in my head???:S
to be honest i cant see it doing 0-60 in 6.9secs and the top speed is very...
here u go buddy, had mine done the other day! its a 172 but u can sort of get an idea!
its 70% front, 35% rear quater and 15% on rear window!
hope it helps!
welcome to the site by the way!

to be completly honest........ i dont like it at all!
imo it doesnt look as sporty as the old shape(172/182) clio! it looks bulky..
when it is released fully i mite take it for a test drive but only to be able to conpare it to the 172/182.
which i have my doubts on whether it will be as good...
when i ordered mine i was told 28 days till deilivery cos there have to be made in germany! sud get mine soon so ill post somepics cos i got silver beading round outside of mat!
how badly does having wheels like these ones(larger with spacers so they stick out from under the arches!)on ur car efect the handling cos i like the look but not if they handle like sh!t!!!
i got a 172 cup with c/c and having no abs isnt really that much of a issue! ive only locked the wheels a couple of times when it was raining hard and on ice! but the lack of toys isnt that bad.
damn it!! i bort some at the begining of feb, got the blue changed to silver tho cos mine cups silver not blue!
just waitning for them to come, 28 days the dude said when i foned them up!
i paid £85 inc vat/p&p and that was for the executive ones with no heel pad and boot mat!
not to bad really...
tough call, smt6 and inlet does sound good, let me no how u get on with it wen u get it, im looking at that amungst other things at the mo. seats are nice tho...
just found this about 172 braking time!

go for the cup, looked at gti 180 but cudnt afford one, glad i bort the clio, quicker and better handling, but u gota love those seats in the gti!!!
ive got a 1.2 16v clio as a hire car when i go to spain in june. lookin forward to driving it! mate has on and yes it does handle like a 172 its still a cracking little car to drive, really fun.
aparently u could get the 172 cup in mars red towards the end of production, def the best colour for the 172's! wish the cup was that colour. if not it wud have to be liquid yellow from the 182's!
fantastic looking car davecli02!
the tint on the front is not that noticable unless ur in the car then u can see a slight difference between the windscreen and the fronts. cant go any darker for legal reasons(70% max and i dont need an excuse for the 5-0 to pull me over!!!
a mate of mine who works for renault said that this can happen when i was looking at buying one and that they have had a few mk1 vees reterned because of this! dont no if anyone on here has experienced this problem?
