7k here too Lee, and its much better then the 172
Its like the Valver - Williams thing, Valver you have to wait till 4.5k RPM for the power whereas with a Williams you get 80% of the power from 2.5k RPM the the other 20% kicks in at 4.5k RPM Its a much smoother delivery
Same with the 172-182 IMO
Overall the 182 is a much more refined car and more like the 172 should of been.

Its much better for blasting away the Chavs round town in there Corsas/saxos etc.
Whereas they stick to my rear in the 172 while its building up the revs, then suddenly it snaps your neck as it takes off at 4.5k RPM and they drop miles behind lol
but in the 182, you plant your foot and its off almost instantly, then again at 4.5k if they managed to keep up the 1st time

But if you get a Black 182 after previously owning a Silver 172, and before that a Flame Red 172, you will certainly notice the difference
I raced my mate in his 182 to my 172 and there isnt a lot in it, but i would say as quick as the 172 cup. But as said above the handling is superb, I bought my 172 cheap because the 182 was coming out, but if i had waited for 6 weeks i could have had a brand new 182 with all the cup packages for the same £12500 i paid for myne, gutted.
This might sound like a stupid Question but What Size Engine is the 172? and just to confirm the Engine Size on the 182 as well i think im Getting Mixed up with them. What is the 2.0?
The 182 I drove was slower than my 172
. (had less miles on it though - 10000 vs 2000) Was a dealer demo car. For me, coming from a mk2 172, the biggest difference was in the handling....... 182 with Cup pack is far superior to 172 imho.[Edited by lagerlout1 on 31 October 2004 at 6:40pm]
