I wouldn't bother, they drop bluetooth a lot. The Parrot mk6000 is far better in my experience. The display's redundant as the system speaks the name of the caller (once you've set voice dialling up), and it's bloody annoying at night having a bright display in your peripheral vision (hence why...
Just realised I created a paradox. If the lad were in the 1800's, there would be no internet, ergo he couldn't post on here. Space-time continuum fail.
From the cars I've seen recently (getting a 1*2 for my brother) for £5k at the moment you get a minter of a 172, or a dog of a 182. All of the 182's we looked at were awful condition wise, missing history etc.
No doubt, but how many people are capable of that? Suppose my point is that for 99% of people, would it make a difference. If you're getting that much ABS action I'd want the brakes checking over.
IIRC you can deactivate the ABS, not sure if it's something you could do just for track?
I've seen Fred outbrake a Gallardo running carbon ceramics in my 172 (uprated pads/discs), never found the ABS to be an issue. Remeber, at launch on standard set-up the 172 could outbrake the F360!
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but to say the benchmark has leapt forward, is in IMO not true. Evo track test the Trophy was quicker. PC magazine (who had run the 197cup as a long termer and loved it) declared the Trophy more fun and interactive at 7/10ths compared to the 197. You may...
Ditto the 197, both are about to be replaced. The R26's have taken more of a hit than the 197's, so cracking value at the moment. Stage 2 remap, you're in a different league! More torque than a 997 GT3 FFS!
I'd go and drive a 197 with cup packs and an R26. Decide from there. Unless it has to be a clio! Then it's wether a 197 is worth the extra outlay and running costs for you.
