197 noticibly quicker than 172?

[leeds_182]

Anybody driven both?

Do they feel the same or does one feel quicker then the other?

 

[E11OOT]

they are the same speed but the 1*2's 'feel' quicker to 60.

i've had all 3 (172, 182, 197) , dont think there is anything in it, but the 197 sounds better.

not much in it as you probably know. I prefer the 197.

Probaly more torque for obvious reasons with the 197 but i wouldlnt say its alot faster.

thats true.

But the 172 is a tiny bit faster, faster still in cup and Ph1 forms, and convincingly quicker in "markcup" form (i reckon )

 

[alanc1000]

i reckon the 172 and 182s pull better at the top end from 80 onwards.

I've driven a couple of 197's and imo the 1*2's feel a little bit quicker.

got to agree TBH. Though the 197 chassis is far superior and makes up for a hell of a lot of the extra weight IMO

This thread should have been, "how to open a can of worms"

Fact...182 bhp vs 197...clearly the 197 is faster, end of story lock thread..lol



NOT!!

Nothing in it at all...my 197 is a 'quick' one, played with various 172/182's, pretty much evens..

I've also owned a 182 and now have a 197..

The 182 has the torque the available at lower revs. Which is handy.
There's no real difference in acceleration.

 

[ForceIndia]

Evens. I think the ph1's are quicker though, was very surprised by the ph1 on the NW run.

 

[agithegreat]

Which one's better when a corner approaches????? LOl, open up that can of worms!

 

[R20 CWH]

^^ cup packs or not? standard or not?

 

[CupSport]

182 and 172 pisses all over it!

My 182 was definately more 'fun' to drive, but think thats because I was used to it.. If i was returning to the CS fold, it'd be to an R27.. Just felt like a better car

 

[ForceIndia]

Horses for courses. 182 has more 'feel', but less refinement. R27 the obvious.

I can't really remember how fast a 1*2 felt as it's been a while, so in true CS fashion I'm just gonna answer a related question that no one asked - My 197 is *exactly* the same in a straight line as my mates Corsa VXR - but I could get round the roundabout we were 180ing round before the drag quicker. On the roundabout, when I lead, I pulled away a bit, when he lead, I had to back off a bit .

So in the 1*2 comparison, I think whichever got on the power first would win assuming drivers were about equal. If either missed a gear, they'd lose, the difference is close enough that you'll get some people who have trounced the other from each side.

Leeds_182 - you're hardly a n00b! You must've seen this done before ?

Drive the R27 - you'll change your mind and I drove a 182 for two and a half years.
