70 mph now is 3410 rpm in 6th as opposed to 3700 rpm for current ratio

 

[Gary-Lew]

7250 rpm is 148.5 mph on top so she should be good for 138-140 top end

Thats better than the last one eh.3.8k at 80mph

if it is retailing for 15k, realistically i wonder how much you could bargin with a dealer. would seriously consider trading my 182.

I'm looking forward to seeing it in the metal.

According to someone from Renault on the Renaultsport forum - the new gear ratios will be used from October 8th - I hope the R27 that I ordered a week and a half ago, is built after that date.

 

[Fletcher]

Where did you order your R27 from Trev?

mm 15k isn't that cheap for a 'stripped' hot hatch, lets hope broker prices will be good
