Cupsize,
If you do a search for a test that Rich-D did with a Cup, MK2 and a V6 the three cars were all more or less equal, he used the AP performance meter!
RE: the 4 ppl in your car, that is not possible going by your theory that weight is everything. Lets do the math:

Cupsize,
Dream on re: the 6.1/2!:D
Im not convinced the weight difference makes that much of difference in terms of straight line performance. Off the mark it may have a slight advantage, but when the two are up and going at high speed the weight difference will be negated!!
Also the MK2...

Actually Cupsize the MK2 has been tested to 6.6 and low 17s to 100, so bang goes yer theory. Also stick a mate in yer car and come up against me in my MK2 and well be dead even.
BTW where do you get 7.2 to 60? Renaults official UK website states "just seven seconds to 62!"
That would...

Someones already weighed the three cars, with a full tank of petrol!
MK1 with alloy bonnet - 1093KG
MK1 without alloy bonnet - 1100KG
MK2 - 1120 KG
I have no idea where Renault cooked the 1035 KG or the 1050 KG from????

Scoobynetters swear by crails timing gear so ill go with them on that one. Also if its good enough for Clarkeson its good enough for me! Also I was there when ImprezaBoy ran that time, infact he ran it against my (still running in) car, I can certainly vouch for that car, it was fappin quick...
Infact if i was getting the times the other 172s were getting Id of got shot of the 172 a long time ago!! The oficial Reno time is 15.0, so theres always room to dip under that!!
Craggy,
I disagree! At Crail i was running 15.0xs dead all day one of the runs was 15 dead with a fluffed gear change, so I know its deffo possible.
AFAIK Trev M only had a back box, that makes no difference whats so ever!
