Well Im staring at the official information provided by Renault and it says weight is 1021Kgs - and thats good enough for me!! Autocar and evo both state it as having 175BHP per tonne which is what I said!!!

cORRECTION WEIGHT IS 1021-89KGS - POWER TO WEIGHT IS 175bhp PER TONNE!!!!

cORRECTION WEIGHT IS 1021-89KGS - POWER TO WEIGHT IS 175bhp PER TONNE!!!!

£69 + VAT from dealer each !! £35 from local motorfactors/scrappy yard

After al the power to weight ratios are different for the cup and 172 and thats what counts in the end of the day really? Power to weight ratio of CUP = 168HP per tonne Power to weight ratio of 172 = 154.8HP per tonne assuming weight of cup = 1021Kgs weight of 172 = 1021=89kgs = 1111kgs !!

That would mean the cup is capable of low 6s or even 6 dead to 60 surely or is it only standard 172s that can beat the official figures!!
