182 has a longer 1st gear and the ratios are diff, as edde says there's good ones and bad ones.

So there's nothing in it, generally?

There a video of a virtually standard 172 Cup against a virtually standard 182 Trophy flat out up the straights at Goodwood here.


Cup had 50k was running R-sport ECU and ITG panel and Yoko A032 tyres, Trophy the same but standard tyres and about 3-5k IIRC (Nik?).

Cup had more than the edge.
