182 Confusion.

[paddymph]

ok.

so the powers up. and the weight is down (they took the spare out etc).

Without starting an arguement surely this makes it quicker than the 172 at the very least?

 

[Daz]

Yes.

 

[Lagerlout]

You would think so mate, yeah. Official Renault stats seem to suggest otherwise though. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Im going to test drive one and see for myself......

No way will it be faster than a Cup though*......













*remember what the man said - NO arguments!!!

 

[KDF]

Yes it will be faster than the 172, I would seriously complain if it wasnt cause the laws of physics dictate less weight + more power = faster acceleration.

Not unless more powers lost in the transmission somehow, it is a Renault afterall!!!

Yes, the 182 will be quicker than a mk2 172!

Power-to-weight ratio is obviously better with less weight and another 10bhp...

It´s not lighter according to this http://www.renault.com/datamedia/doc/mediarenaultcom/en/6586_4vues_et_caracteristiquesClio_GB.pdfhttp://www.renault.com/datamedia/doc/mediarenaultcom/en/6586_4vues_et_caracteristiquesClio_GB.pdf

 

[Tom]

What isnt?

The 182 is 1090kg on that document.

The 172 was 1110kg

 

[RPM]

Ahh you meant the mk2. My mistake.

 

[Jon1978]

Thought the idea was to have a standard model (fitted with ABS - as that is now an EEC regulation) with all the luxuries that put out the same performance as the Cup... bu then again the Cup weighs less than 1T doesnt it...?

 

[Tom]

No. 1021kg

 

[matt4478]

...and the Mk1 172 only weighs 1035kg doesnt it? (just thought Id get that one in there for all of us that love the Mk1 ).

 

[Lagerlout]

Right thats it!! My poor 172 mk2 is going on a diet. Jeez. Your making it sound like its the fat kid that gets picked last in the playground. If a 172, a Cup and a 182 had a play, would the Mk2 172 be in goal?

 

[KDF]

hehe, I like my mk2 172 the way it is..

If you want to loose 16kg + right away though, remove the spare...

 

[Weeman]

I like mine the way it is too.

Weight matters though went carting with a mate when I weighed 92 kilos, and couldnt catch him, lost 10 kilos, went again and thumped him
