172 cup or 182 cup?

[jamievt]

as the title really is there any difference in them minus the twin pipes its just that seen nice inferno 182 cup but its 700 more than a silver 172 cup just wondering is there any difference were any kinks ironed out from the 172 when they made 182??

172 cup got lower, firmer suspension, wider track, larger rear spoiler, lip splitter and turinis. more raw, track prepped version of the standard 172

you couldnt spec a 172 with the cup parts

182 cup got lower suspension, grey wheels, larger rear spoiler and lip splitter. pov spec version of the standard/ff 182 tbh

you could spec a 182 with the cup spoiler/splitter and suspension making it a full fat 182. so picking a 182 cup over a ff is silly... in CS's opinion

172s and 182s are essentially the same car though

im not interested in traction controll abs or air con so no ff for me seems silly to pay the extra for me to rip it out, i know the 172 cup is amazing i used to own one! its just i love the inferno orange so in a sense i suppose im asking if i got the 182 cup will it be exactly like the 172 in terms of driving handling ect because then i can have the best of both worlds

iirc, the 172cup got a wider track over the standard 172, the 182 cup just got pretty coloured wheels

Plus the 182 cup is only actually 20kg's lighter than a normal 182, to me its a waste of time.

182 cup seats are far more supportive than the half leather FF seats.. Just sayin...

i dont miss any of the stuff you get in an ff tbh.. Especially the annoying buzz of the climate sensor

172 cups only came in iceberg silver and mondial blue.

182 cups only came in inferno orange and racing blue.

Arent they the same seats, just trimmed differently? Same as dynamique seats

No idea, could be.. Mine feel alot more solid and supportive than my mates FF seats though, he says the same..

I was under the impression that cup seats were retrimmed dynamique seats and 182 seats were them in half leather, I could be wrong though
