The 172 would be more 'fun', more interactive. The 200 is more composed, carries more speed through a turn.

5mins ago, looked well

This morning, about 8:30. Close to the Woking junction (I think), heading clockwise.

+1. Amen.

Awesome choice.

True. I think the biggest mistake the OP has made is trying to run it as a road car.

Oh ffs man, how can he have finished a track car project, without being on track?? Christ on a bike, you have to rev a car hard on track, you don't knock it into D and waft through Druids trying not to spill your Latte!!

I don't know why people go so far? My 172 was useable everyday, but great on track! Suspension, brakes, exhaust, seats. Removed the rear seats for track days/tip runs, perfect. Why go so far that the cars only useful in one situation?? All you acheive is a car that's 10% better for 5% of the time!

So 2008. GTO, or GTFO.

Yes.

This. Older methods of casting/manufacturing parts meant that the parts were physically worn in (ie the rough edges removed) during use. Hence the early oil change which used to be required. Modern methods mean this is obselete. Ask the lad that had my 1st 172, in his words it was the quickest...

Each to their own. As far as I'm concerned, Ferrari wouldn't spank every single car they produce from zero miles.

If it's non fault, you're entitled to have it returned as it was before. Get onto insurance and the garage asap.

100% unnecessary. With modern ecu's, if it were essential for component longevity (given that any failures would likely be paid for by the manufacturer via warranty), they'd simply have a lower rev limit for the running in period. I've not run in a single car I've owned from new, none have had...

Looks miles better than Tigra!

Your a young driver, it's a much newer, pricier, more powerful car. Makes sense?

It's sweet that you pretend to have friends. Butlers don't count.

Modern engines don't need running in, I'm not sure why they even recommend it! Someone I know picked up a new 430 couple of year ago. Was told running it was essential due to it being a new engine, and under no circumstance should a new Ferrari engine be taken over a certain level etc. That's...

I'm sure the guy that ragged the f**k out of it coming off the boat etc wasn't worried about 600miles.

How is it exciting at low speeds lol?

Welcome! I've had a 182 in the past, now in a 200. 200 is the better 'car', 182 is the better hot hatch, more interactive and ultimately more 'fun'. Drive them both, decide which suits you best.

Are most of these cars about looks>performance? The Zed on the prev page looks unusable!

Having had both, they do feel different, not sure why! The plastic one's feel softer, the cup one's felt firmer.

Love the alonso/Lewis vid! The Hakk attack was quicker than both! They've had some epic drivers over the years, to think Schumacher could have joined!

R26's are ace. Not as much sheer fun as a Trophy, but better in other area's.

Gutting:(. Do you think you'll look for another, or move on?

Gromit in the passenger footwell, just below the dash. Log on using safari, have a search, there's pics somewhere.

Cs posh language right there. Put yes?/no? at the end of any sentence. +5 iq pts without trying. I've missed you. How's the panzer?
