I happen to disagree I would say a Cup is every bit as fast as a CTR, quicker over the 1/4 mile too! Just last week there was a guy on the CTR forum sayinga CUP stayed with him til 130MPH!
I have driven a CTR and wasnt all that impressed with the afore mentioned VTEC push at 6KRPM!
Dont know much about DV cameras Im affraid Paddy, but the one I was using was my old mans, pretty expensive digital SONY number! It was encoded at 25fps.
Daz, Im sure it can be done using HTML code, I can do it on boards such as ScoobyNet, using the follwing HTML code!

....just bought a camera mount for the car, hours of fun!:D
Anyway, here a short vid of some antics today, nothing special just testing it out really. There is a 30-70 run in there at the start but you cat see the speedo...
It was 16.5 anyway, dunno where he got 14 from?!
Ill try and do some runs with the AP tomorrow. Last time I did it in the wet I dipped under 7s to 60, i think thru the gears the 30-70 was 6.1!
Simon, its not noisy at cruising speed though, or is it? The 115 is as quiet as the petrol equivalent while cruising. Although at a standstill it is a bit clatery!
My old man has the 115 PD, the one with 210od lb/ft of torque. Complete boat to drive swiftly round corners, but thats not really what it is designed to do.
It is designed to be a motorway mile muncher, it really is relaxing to drive a long trip in it, no messing about changing down when...

The NSX vs GT-R is great, just constant 1/4 mile action with some top notch cars!
BTW, dont bother if you dont have broadband!
So I assume that there is no disclaimer in the terms of the Renault Warrenty that would render it void if you take part in any form of track day?
I thought there was!
When I went in to replace mine, they didnt even go out in my car, all they did was tap the centre part of the exhaust look at each other and went, hmm yeah well replace the centre section!! It took them all of 1 min to decide, thats what makes me think it is a known problem!
Miester,
It is definately a known problem to Renault!! Book your car in at your dealer telling them you have a problem with your exhaust. Now, what the dealer should then do is order up the whole exhaust system from Renault, then when you come in the centre section can be replaced there and...
Dont get me wrong guys, I think its pathetic you have to hope and pray to get a good 172. If I was you I wouldnt hesitate to change it at the first opertunity!
Guys, I have said this umpteen times, but Ill say it again on the off chance someone will listen to me this time!
I have had 2 172s, the first one I rejected due to paint imperfections. Anyway I had that car for 3,500 miles, I never thought that the car was fast at all, infact I went...
