172 vs 197

TBH it doesn't really matter what the peak figures are so long as the car is great to drive, but I agree it's a bit misleading.

Pferdestärke - making people think 172 was 172 since 1999.

Pretty much every other manufacturer under estimates the figures, so I don't know why Renault have to over estimate.

...I don't know why Renault have to over estimate.

Because they don't care.

There's a theme emerging Royston.

Aren't the 197's known for making no-where near the 197hp, an issue that was resolved in the 200?

I remember a RR day where a 197 made 178hp.

Mine made 179.9... It's like th stupid thing knew I wanted at least 180 lol.

but yeah, these make around 185 standard. The 200s don't make their quoted 197bhp either

0.1 away from acceptance! Ha

This is the reason I wont put my car on a RR lol

Edit: The spoiler you put on took it down to 179.9 :/

Everytime I've been on a RR I've been dissapointed.

The only time my GTI is going on is for a mapping session in the summer

​Spoiler went on afterwards lol



It made 160 on the first run! I s**t myself haha. It was because it was cold, despite running for 20 mins beforehand
