Spot on mate. We never used to get this bitching from the GTi-6 boys did we ....
I went to make a cup of tea last night and found that I had run out of milk. I dashed to my local shop about a 1/4 mile away. They where about to close in 5 minutes. Thank goodness I got there in 14.83 seconds. Dont you just hate being the last customer?
There is a justification for 1/4 mile times afterall.
I feal like a better man today? Maybe not.
I have enough milk in my fridge? Yes.
Thankyou Renault.

LMFAO.. very touchy subject there..
Or from a different point of view: If you are veggie a Cup is a nice cheap 172 without killing the animals... And without the air conditioning that (according to scientist people) recycles your old illnesses so you get ill again. I read BBC news at work too much, Im a saaaad man
And its quicker than a 172... *Runs really quick* lol
I would like to say that I like both the 172 and the cup, but (puts on his hard hat) if I have done my maths correctly then if the cup is quicker by 0.5 sec to 60mph doesnt that equate to something like 10 meters difference? Or more?
Before I get flamed I would like to point out that Im a newbie and should not be taken too seriously.
Can someone work out the differnce for 0.5 secs at 100mph?
Nippy white cup
What 6.6 to 60 for a standard 172?Quote: Originally posted by _KDF on 11 July 2003

AHAHAHAHHAHHHAHHHAHHAH !!!
LMFAO.. ye okay then.. 7.2 to 60 eh ? and over 20 seconds to 100mph..

time it yourself.
Dont forget the better handling on the CUP due to wider wheel base, different tracking, uprated front suspension and a tweaked Chassis !!!!!!
0.5 seconds quicker to 60, 3.7 seconds quicker to 100 and a much more enjoyable drive. You can tell the moment the cluch is raised that 89Kgs makes a big difference.

End of discussion.
No need to reply as I will not look at this thread again.
Bye !

Where did you get those times from ? have a look at my 0-60 and 0-100 vids and tell me those figures arent a load of crap.

Standard 172. Time it yourselves again. And this time you can see its on the flat. And before anyone asks, the speedo is as close as possible. Checked with 2 different GPS units.

PS: agree with Griff.....this thread does suck but Ive gone and replied anyway. Why do people DO that?
weve had the MK1 vs MK11, now its the Cup vs. MK1/11. Next year itll be the MK11 vs MK111 and so on. Real life its not gonna make a difference between the two. Its all down to the driver at the end of the day because essentially they are both virtually the same car so who gives a sh1t if one car is .3 of a second faster, that can be made up in reaction time.
Whenever these sort of theads come up its always the same people, not all, who drive cups/172 that go on about .2 of second this and .3 of second that. Funnily enough I dont see any people with Williams1 bickering with those who own Williams 2 or 3s, which raised the question the mentality of some Cup/172 owners. Do a search for "Cup vs 172" and you see what I mean.
