can drive the cup in 2 days!

[lynchy172cup]

Just got myself a 172 cup recently but havent been able to drive until my policy runs out as my current insurers wont insure me due to my age! Wondered if anyone knows how this would fair against my mates rs focus(standard)? my cup just has a cat back exhaust n panel filter. cheers

 

[len_beach]

Not too badly if it's standard.

 

[Fletcher]

Not a lot in it in the 'real world'

 

[RM_bailey]

get him on the bendys and you will beat him but he might have you on a straight or duel carrage way due to the higher power of the rs i would rather drive the cup thow, alot more feel and fun

 

[Gary-Lew]

Just be careful in the winter months, most of your mates will have ABS you wont

 

[Daniel]

Try and make it last through the winter.

If your going to be racing your mates focus in the wet/ice etc, i'd probably suspect otherwise.

its true thow the cup is horrid it the wet/ice/snow and ever so slightly moist roads lol and no abs makes it very hard to stop in those conditions so abit of adivice from a cup owner dont tailgate in winter lol

This thing about Cups being dangerous in the wet is pish tbh

I always thought that, people always managed without abs before. people should learn not to depend on driver aids so much

Gotta agree with you mate...we don't want anyone hurt or another written off cup..

Do you own one?

My mk1 nova is probably safer in the wet than my cup

+1 winter isnt the time for racing especially in a cup.

 

[Ads_172]

Cups are fine in the winter, it's drivers not driving to the conditions that's the risk.

I've not even come close to an incident in mine.

 

[.GAZ.]

my cup was mizn in the wet with p-zero nero's!

 

[1PBY]

[Nafeun]

I'm not sure how a car can go from being absolutely fine in the wet (172) to being dreadful following the removal of a spare wheel and aircon along with ABS.

Do those sh!t headlights stop you from spotting the muddy, wet corner approaching?

As you can probaly see in my pic to the left here that i dont own a Cup no.

But i dont see how a cup is any more dangerous than any other 1*2, so its got no ABS, so what?

The entire time ive owned my Phase 1 i can genuinley say the ABS has been applied a handfull of times, the lack of ABS cannot be blamed for poor judgement/driver error (im not saying this is the case all the time)

But lets face it 9/10 its down to driving beyond ability or just plain driving too fast on the wrong road.

A bugatti veyron in snowy alps aye thats dangerous, a cup in a bit of Drizzle is hardly anything to get dizzy about

 

[Dickie_172_cup]

cups are s**t in the wet.and seen a cpl a vids at crail on the quarter mile of a cup whippin a focus rs,both standard of course.

what i was kinda getting at mate is, imo clios are pish in any weather other than the dry and even then there twitchy little coonts! Its not a fact of OMG its doesnt have ABS, its that they are crap unless dry! goes for every 172, 182 and v6 one ive been in!

 

[JON13S]

have to disagree that cups are that bad....just be aware of conditions and dont let your balls get bigger than your brains....i would say get used to it before you go taking on a focus rs.. will be a good match but only in the right conditions, if you are inexperienced....(well who knows how you will end up)

 

[Rufstuf]

My cup is fine in ANY weather conditions, as is any cup, provided your not driving like a dick. Not having abs and esp makes you a better driver imo.

Olease take it easy
