182- Top Speed!!!

[tri3]

i already read some topics about the performances of the 172 and cup... but im very curious about the figures 4 the 182. i know that it shouldnt be much of a difference between the 172/cup/182.

somebody said that the 182 ,with the sport chassis option, could reach a top speed something like 155 mph... but im not so sure about that.

139. I wouldnt expect it to go any faster than that! It will also be really slow from 125 to 139!

Pretty difficult to hit 155mph in a hatch with under 200 bhp. Isnt the 182s top speed something in the high 130s?

 

[paddymph]

what they said was that IN THEORY, with the different gearing on the 182, theres the potential to do 155 on a standard box.

aha! k ... thaks 4 helping me guys... what mods would u do to a 182 and after how many miles? ill be getting my 182 somewhere in july and im allready thinkin about doing a few "adjustments"...

[Paul_P1]

Your english seems fine to me, where are you from and do they still call it the 182 in your country?

 

[tri3]

well actually they didnt launched the 182 in my country yet...

im from romania and im just turning 18... so my dad wants to take me something nice . i guess that they will call it simply "clio rs"
