200 bhp 172

Mine made 173.5 with a cat back and a panel filter so not a bad jump on 166-169 if the rollers were accurate.
I reckon the 0-60 claims by Renault are a bit conservative but the 182 drivers out there need to remember that a 182 has the same 148 lb/ft of torque as the 172 so they are not going to be able to walk away from a 172 in a battle.
Thankfully I seem to have a quicker one but the more I drive it the more I become complacent with the speed so it gets slower. Maybe we all need to drive our girlfriends/wifes 1.3 pushrod Fiesta 1 week out of 4 just so we can appreciate the speed of the RS Clio.
 
Renaults figures will be engine dyno based for starters, none of this guessing game rolling road malarky. Personally I couldnt care if my 182 has 170, or 190'bhp' It goes like stink and is a hoot to drive :D

My black car did a 0-60 in 6.51 seconds... only did 3 runs so might have got a little better... on road tires etc etc etc

and its got 208bhp.
