haven`t drove a 197, but raced afew (killed them-when mine was in standard form) as for out braking n out handleing the mk2`s, i really can`t see it tbh, more weight behind them in the first place!

Talkin out your arse mate. The 197 a mate had for the weekend was a good yardstick. Against my 182 there was nothing in it, my at the time standard 182 *may* have just edged it, not by much, certainly not 'killed' as you put it. The 197 just needs stiiring of its gears more, which imo aint a bad thing as it adds to the enjoyment for me. My 182 is pretty even with my old cup (same mate has it, inlets GRP N, decat, Maxogen) we've had a few duals down some striaghts. I found its who ever presses the loud pedal firsts gets the slight advantage.

the bloke i raced is on here sumwhere, we were going down the a46 near leicester (that will mean nothing to u) me and my brother in my cup, him on his own, booted it and i just kept pulling away - emm what did vin diesel say in that fast and the furious film.......

End of the day compare the stock 172 cups time to the supposidly lard arse 197 R27s times around the ring BTG.

Nuff said.
