911R vs 205 Rallye

[Smiffyboy1990]

Another decent Harris video
Makes me want to go for a good blast now though!


Enjoy.

Really enjoyed that ^^^

Love Harris for this reason. He'd be excused for being a snob with the level of stuff he does, but still loves (and buys with his own money!) stuff like this. Legend!

Not sure it's actually a Rallye though

What makes you think it's not a Rallye

What makes you think it's not a Rallye

Did a search on the reg and it came back as a 1.6, I thought rallye's were 1.3.

probably had a 1600 tu engine fitted at some point in it's life and dvla had been notified
uk rallyes were 1360 tu 75hp piece of turd, so a lot of people put the 1.6 in out of the 306, saxo, etc

Weren't the 205 Rallyes something like 800kg?

I saw a middle-base spec Citroen AX the other day and was almost pining after it for its sheer flimsiness and lightness lol

Cool video!

Euro 205 Rallye's were based on 1.6 GTI shell/ running gear, were apparently 790kg... 1294cc on twin 40 carbs and put out 102bhp.... Never driven or been in one but sounds like great fun

Funny how this made me want a 205 rather than the 911. Definitely something about the slower involving stuff.

 

[Niall]

That 911 engine at full chat is absolute p**n though. That bit when he's going through the gears and it cuts to the pedal cam, epic.

 

[Ian_182]

Im glad he's back doing this, all be it through Top Gear.
Still gives us something decent to watch.

 

[Crybert]

His conclusion is exactly what I try to tell folk when I say how good the 172/182 really is. It's not as raw as the rallye obviously but itz along the same lines

 

[Christopher]

Great vid. Fanboy though.

Did a search on the reg and it came back as a 1.6, I thought rallye's were 1.3.

Early ones were 1.3
Later ones were 1.6. Basically a GTI with a s**t interior. Just like a 172 Cup -v- 172

The arches on the Euro version make the GTI look pap in my view. Deeply cool car, much like the original 106 Rallye.

Great vid, thanks for posting :up:

911 is nice but on those sort of Welsh roads in the rain, I'd much rather be in a sorted FWD hatch that I knew wasn't going to try and kill me if I lifted off mid-corner lol
