We're talking Cup here though, and that is slightly quicker and handles better. The fact that the 180 is never mentioned in hot hatch talk says enough.
I wouldn't go too far, as I said above but I would be interested in losing some weight (me too, perhaps!). It's just finding the most effective ways of doing this.
How much weight do you have to lose before you really notice a difference in performance?
I understand that the handling will sharpen up, if set-up correctly but I was curious about how much weight you would have to strip in order to feel a marked difference in acceleration and braking. Also...
100mph on a public B road is not clever, especially when there is other traffic nearby. Yes, you do sometimes have to wait to get passed and if it means getting bored then tough $hit! I'm not saying he isn't skilled enough to drive at that speed but but if you get caught or something happens...
6.8 according to Renault, 6.5 according to Evo. 0-60 means sod all. 0-100 is a better indicator imo.
It will be close in a straight line but it would be easy to c**k up. Everyone knows what car is better fun!
There was a good write up in Evo a while back on this particular 'V's' chat. The Cup came out on top by a country mile, in terms of performance and fun factor. There won't be a massive amount of difference in a straight drag but the Cup should edge it due to being lighter.
