Any1 Driven a 172 & a 182

Its close enough for it to be determined by driver skill. End of.

^^^ if you say so.

 

[Mells]

I predict 9 pages.

I couldnt tell the difference tbh. You need a vee to go quicker in a clio.

+1

Just get a CTR

 

[Fred@BTM]

Ive had a pop against a couple in my old 182, nothing in it.

172cup quicker than 182/cup packs=myth!

(wait for it)

172 cups hold the 1/4mile record for the mk2 clios at 13.9sec, i doubt you find a 182 below 14.5

100% true.

Suspension changes over time are miniscule in the whole scheme of things. Power output of the engines is also widely variable.

A good 172 will pull away from a 182.

A good 182 will pull away from a 172.

So yes, it all comes down to the driver's ability, and how much they're willing to push the performance envelope and/or abuse their car.

(nothing pulls away from a 172 Cup though - the end)

 

[Fred@BTM]

V does dominate all TBH

 

[MarkCup]

Dreamer

 

[Revels]

If so... can you tell the differance in acceleration?

title should say "driven" not drive

Title should also say "Anyone"

You do post some really crap threads.

 

[Fred@BTM]

ok i'll rephrase, my V will (if ever finished) dominate all

better?

 

[DrEnzo]

What are the offical renault times 0-60 and 0-100 and top end on both?

 

[*Badger*]

Ive owned a 172 and 182 FF.
Speed wise, nothing noticable.
Handling wise, the 182FF is far beter and lets you carry more speed out of a corner/roundabout, so i suppose looking at it from that angle, the 182 would be quicker.....
Economy 182 is worse than 172.

 

[DrEnzo]

I can only find this ref

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Clio_Renault_Sport

172 -100 (km/h) 7.2
182 -100 (km/h) 7.1
197 -100 (km/h) 6.9

I dont know 50-100 and all other figs but the 182 is quicker to 100km/h

So these are offical figures not "gut feelings" and "own opinions" or "mods"

Answer is the 182 is quicker than the 172 0-100 can you "feel the diffence"...LOL who can tell 0.1 seconds

 

[Gaz_]

197 ftw!!!

 

[Craig]

my 182 feels faster than the 172 did and the handling is better than the 172 was but id prefer i stealth exhaust for mine

Just get a CTR

Thought the clio/CTR were very evenly matched and once again, is close enough to be decided by driver skill?

 

[Paul RN]

Had both, both are the same.

ta...

 

[jeffymw]

I've driven a std 172 and my mate's std 182. Acceleration is pretty similar. But in cornering the 182 is a lot better with LSD.

 

[alanc1000]

i've owned both, the first and only thing i really noticed was the better exhaust note from the 182. Performance wise i couldnt tell.

 

[AlexS]

Phase 1 FTW

 

[Rich]

Biggest difference I could notice seemed to be down to the tyres, 182 on 205's felt over tyred compared to the 172 on 195's. Cup pack suspension on the 182 did feel a bit more composed than the normal 172.

The 182 isn't standard if it has a LSD though.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

LSD & FTW mean...

i know im thick

 

[jenic]

I presume its limited slip differential and for the win.

 

[cat171]

Yep. As said a 172/182 clio doesn't come with a LSD as standard.

 

[DMS]

I've driven both. Couldn't tell the difference between the two.
Never driven a cup though, but the general concensus is that they're quicker - which you'd expect since they weigh less.
I think it depends on the cars. Some will be faster standard than others, etc...

 

[lee_cup]

Are you actually thinking of buying one, or did you just fancy opening a can of worms???

 

[TooneySonic]

what??? the 182 is ahead the whole time??

ffs are you serious, it takes 20 seconds of acceleration for the 182 to even get ahead (ie back of the 182 level with front of 172) at this point i estimate their speed to be around 120mph(basing this on setting off in second gear), its takes a futher 10 secs to pull out what i would call a lead/being ahead....

i've had two now, bottom line is they vary from car to car and how agressive individual drivers are with their gearchanges

end of

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

ok i think i have the answer now lets all calm down and just be friends

i agree
