45six182 - Is that the speedo speed as they cna be a bit out plus I've seen my 2.0 tunned Williams hitting 145 on the speedo which worked out to be ~135 thast was flat out.
172's can, with enough road and slightly downhill hit the limiter in 5th as proved by some members in Germany.
I'd say a 172/mini should be about even maybe the 172 having a slight edge but its down to driver ability to change up at the right time and quick.

Bet they'll rag it to a 3 figure speed when there out testing it on there own !! hahaha
They certainly rag mine cos my motor was in at the garage a while back and my mate who works up the road saw them fly past his work at break neck speeds !! Also i was speaking to a Reno mechanic where i take mine in a night club and he reckoned i had one of the ''faster'' 172's. How did he know that i wonder ? lol
Are you running different sized rims by any chance ??? That would make a big difference to speedo readings.
Always makes me laugh when you get the pub talk of ''oh my 1.2 did 120 the other week'' ......yeah right
somerset
Clio RS has 169 bhp. Mine got 162 on RR when i got it, now it's probably putting out slighlty more, since the clutch was in pretty bad shape at that time and i've had it replaced.
Sometimes it has a hard time reaching the promised 220 kph, top speed varies from 210-220, it blasts to 200, but is quite a slouch form there on. An when it's on, it takes just a slight uphill, it will almost imediatly loose speed.
It sits on 16" wheels and 205 wide tires, so that might has something to do with it.
The problem with the mk1 is also it's looong 5th gear. It's more or less a cruising gear, but in theory you can take it to 250 kph. In theory.

Renault claim their model will reach 140+mph, and if laws allow (seperate issue, I agree!) then you can drive it that quick. If the engine blows up, Renault must honour the warranty. If you strapped a jet-engine to the back, they might not be as willing...

172's dont have speed limiters do they?

Id say the 172 would just have the legs on a cooper s. Not by much though as i can stick with a cooper s in the valver to just over a ton and a 172 pulls about 3 car lengths to a ton.
ford orion rs turbo
put my 172cup on the rollers at red dot racing and it had 144.8bhp at 6500rpm at the wheels and 160bhp at the fly wheel. the bloke said he has done loads of 172s and never had one with more than 165bhp at the fly wheel. i was a bit gutted like.

Don't worry mate, almost all manufactures power figures are measured in perfect conditions, with perfect engines and 100+ ron fuel....
...most peoples cars don't make the claimed output on the rollers (when stock).

mine is a mk2 172 and iv oly raced a mcs in a straight line and the 172 came out on top by about 15metres
Jeremy Clarkson says he plays GT4 and can honestly say,each and every car is so realistic in terms of performance/handling its spot on.His only complaint was after driving the m3 on the game saying the brakes felt softer.
Now if your like me you will have already raced the civics type r and the mini cooper and the clio sport.
And just like in real life.The clio pulls from the mini,not by much,but its faster.

Jeezuz m8 - that R5 Tubby driver was either asleep or couldn't select any higher gear than 2nd. It wasn't Chris (Chris & Nic) by any chance??? :clown:
I owned the same 1.6 8v Sporting and that thing would get battered to a pulp against an R5GTT. Add two other passengers with you and clearly the other bloke wasn't trying or his car was fooked.
I had to wait until swapping that for a Punto GT until the Punto vs R5GTT performance was evenly matched. Even then, the much lighter R5GTT could gain the upper hand easily, despite being down on power...

Chopper, dont like it dont read it and bother posting then mate. FYI A diesel gearbox would allow you to 'cruise' at 130mph in 4th gear if it had the power, so it really does depend on the setup and bearing in mind how many people mod their cars to a crazy amount you cant discount it.

Lol defo wasn`t me m8 (unless I didn`t even see the `race` lol) I can safely say that if the 5 was running right and he was racing he would have dissappeared into the distance pretty sharpish

agreed this thread is getting daft,
who cares about top speed anyway?! theres no fun to be had sitting at top speed on a motorway, if you wanted cars with high top speeds then buy a big saloon car in the first place or something, not a little clio
Back on topic:
Clio vs MCS, both are great fun, both have good and bad points, both handle great, its not a competition, just enjoy whatever youve got
