Alright mate, I hope you dont mind me using your picture as my avatar, I got it from on here ages ago and think its an ace pic, I wanted to put it as my desktop but it needs to be stretched to cover it and then doesnt look as good.
Im from Owlthorpe so about two mins away!
its a shame that a few people ruin it foe everyone, 99% of people are honest people but becuase of the 1% everyone has to be careful and in the future this is going to make people relucant to help other like in this case
So it is less powerful, produces less torque, isnt as economical but has a better torque curve so the F7R is a better engine???
Renaultsport must have no idea what they are doing then
well my brother used to have a 330ci (about 80k on it) and we had a play in my 182 upto about 80mph and there was nothing in it, he wasnt catching and I wasnt pulling away, by the way they are both standard
Where on earth do you get you statistics from?, alot of people would struggle to look at a williams or a 182 and tell you its a clio, most people dont know anything about cars
Not totally in the know about the williams but correct me if im wrong, but how does a car with 32 bhp less and 15 bhp per tonne less blow away the 182?
as for which is faster its the 182 as it got a higher top speed
not much in it at all really, if you can afford the 182 id go for that, but i prefer the looks, i like the alloys better and the exhaust but obviously thats a personal opinion. I know some of the magazines times suggest the 182 is a bit quicker (Auocar claim 182 quicker to 60 by 0.8 and quicker...
Is this a joke, most of the magazines praise the 182 for its character, as for turning heads, get real its a clio and the only clio that turns heads is the V6
You make it sould like the williams is a supercar
the new golf GTI is the fastest Golf GTi ever, I read an article in autocar a few years ago for the golfs anniversary and each GTI version (latest to earliest) was quicker round the track on the same day, so the MK4 was the fastest, followed by the MK3, Mk2 and Mk1
As for the 182 and...
I was seriously considering getting one as you can pick one up for 16k with about 10k on the clock and the insurance was £10 cheaper than the 182, also considered getting an S3, you drove one of those?
Cant understand what the arguements are about, in general a std 182 is quicker than a std Williams
Bear in mind that the Williams will have loads of miles on them where as the 182's engine will still be tight
Agreed but thats not what the discussion was about, No one doubt the RS is a quicker car than the 182, but the FACTS are at upto 90ish theres not alot in it and the 1/4 mile times prove that
just out of interest what time did the FRS do the 0-100-0 challenge in? this year the clio 182 got to...
you can have an opinion of what feels faster but it doesnt mean its faster. The RS will always feel much faster than the 182 because of the turbo, I agree the RS is quicker but if you look at the times on the 1/4 mile the RS are not that much faster than the 172/182's a couple of tenths of a...
I dont doubt the RS is quicker, I notice you take the figure from Evo but no FWD hatchback gets to 100 anywhere near 14.6 secs, not even the R32, Alfa GTA, VXR, meg 225 and they all have more power than the RS
Autocar get the FRS to 100 in 16.4 and the 182 in 17.0
