172 Sport Cup - very confused by spec

[Henry]

could they have fitted switchable ABS? on for the road, off for the track?

i find mine quite easy to lock up - fine in normal driving but i wouldn't fancy things much in an emergency stop situation

Don't forget the aircon isn't just weight... it's also sapping your engine of a few ponies. Most likely why Cups generally make closer to standard power on a RR.

As for me..... I love the CC. lol.

Nearly all the Cups sold after Climate OCntrol was made an option were fitted with it. It was probably an indicator to Renault that people actually wanted a 'hardcore' car but more in name than reality............. maybe the reasoning behind the weak 'Cup' offerings ever since.

172 Cup or not at all. Unless you're a pikey and just like things cheap of course, but no -ones going to admit to that

I would never go without aircon again. All it takes is a traffic a jam on the one warm summer day we get, and that's enough!

I do think Cups look stunning - love Mondial blue and the turinis.

Saw one which was obviously just washed under petrol station lights the other day and I couldn't stop staring at it!

Exactly the point of AC. Who cares what the average temperature is? I'd rather not suffer just one day of intense heat in a car through lack of AC, than make myself feel hardcore for the other 364 days by not having it

YEAH. I do recall a few jealous posts from 172 Cup owners a few summers back when it was hot. Not so hardcore when they're pouring with sweat hehe.

and you lot forgot the cups seats don't have airbags, which also saves the weight, and the missing engine cover, and crummy interior light is different too.
