Clio 182 v Cooper S

[kris-182]

Which will reign victorious??

My mates just bought one

 

[jack_kemp]

Oh jesus....

These threads always cause massive arguments.

They''l be very close for pace, round the twisties i'd say 182, straight line, the mini would have you.

 

[172Ben]

victorious in what? Straight line speed on the public roads, a B road blast, or on a track?

Most of it is down to the driver and the size of his balls.

s Clio

l mini

I was thinking about the arguements when i posted it, as I was reading a couple the other day. but it will be funny to see some funny comments hahaha

CLIO

the clio. on paper stats dont tell the whole story.

if it was which car is the gayest then the mini wins. thats 1- 1 in my book. lol

ps i like the mini aswell as the 182.

 

[Matt W]

He wasn't trying.

 

[The_Pirate]

As Ben rightfully pointed out, itll be down to the size of the pilots coconuts as to who wins.

On a track id hedge my bet with the Clio, on the road, christ knows.

 

[172Ben]

Also the max power of the clio is 179bhp, if its even running that. as we all know they dont run that standard.

 

[kris-182]

My balls are small should have a few good drives around some B roads etc once iv upgraded the brakes

this. i raced one at santa pod and spanked it in my 172 but was expecting to have my ass handed to me as they are technically faster cars than the 172 so the driver must have not possesed the skills that i do lol

 

[Rob_Willow]

My friend beat me in his on a rolling start, but i was bogged down in second, keep it on the boil which i did the second time and it was even.

 

[hipwell]

me and my mate did a quick 40-100 blast on a private road and my 182 with decat , remap and ktec exhaust was about 10 meters in front when we hit 100.

 

[lee_cup]

will be close until he tunes it

 

[withoutabix]

will be close until he tunes it

^^^this^^^

once he gets a reduced pulley its bye bye

 

[bearne1]

The last time I 'pushed' a Works Mini clouds of smoke started coming from its exhaust - he looked quite concerned when we met up at the next set of lights!

 

[.Kev.]

In a straight line our 172 only just pulls ahead slightly and it has no interior ect ect, the Mini's bog standard.

 

[amd clio 182]

men in minis make me laugh proper girls car

 

[.Kev.]

And a Clio's a mans car...... :rofl:

 

[r900smp]

No you have to drive an audi or merc to be a real man.......:approve:

 

[.Kev.]

No you have to drive an audi or merc to be a real woman.......:approve:

all ready owned an audi but im still a boy inside hahaha

 

[simonas]

really? what kind of bhp are they as standard in reality

 

[MarkCup]

Between the two of them, they are driver dependant.

What about the weights of the cars? that may play a part... FYI the Clio is approx 1090kg vs the Cooper S is approx 1200kg.

Also, having the balls to drive fast means nothing.. knowing how to handle a car means everything.

 

[172Ben]

My standard 172 made 158bhp to give you an idea

Sorry sweetheart but when we went side by side in my mini vs your very healthy 182 I remember pulling away from you in 5th and I had an extra passenger.

I know which one I'd rather have and it wouldn't be the 182 unless a trophy

 

[Chris205]

For comparison 30-110 there will be nothing in it, after that the mini will have a very very slight edge. I had a play on with a 172 ph1 and won and also kevs healthy 182

FLOL, and so they arrive.

So what if he turbo/super charges his Clio?

 

[kevin.s]

here we go lol

 

[r900smp]

I was slowly but surely pulling away
from a cooper s last week the lad driving even looked half my size so much lighter

 

[The_Pirate]

here we go lol

Sorry if you thought my comment was to "bait" an argument but its perfectly valid..

Yes, the Cooper S is prone to easier gains in terms of BHP but to suggest "Its a different story once modified" could be said about any production car on the planet.

This thread has aquired epic status.

but it is a different story dude

standard side by side its very close but £500 on the cooper s gets you 30BHP + tonnes more drivability, £500 on a clio gets you 10BHP max if that

10bhp for £500? I'd say it would be more like 5 at a push.

My bros mate had a Cooper s and I loved it!

 

[mpm]

I had a cooper S Works previous. I now have a ph1 172. Either I have a very strong 172, or its my imagination, but theres hardly anything in it between them.
Id say between a standard mini, vs standard clio, the mini may just have the edge.

 

[Brett]

All the magazine tests show the 1*2 as being quicker on the sprints to 60 and 100. However that is with a full no mechanical sympathy launch. On the road the wider power band of the mini should prove advantageous. Never came up against one in my 172 though so can't really comment.

 

[Šįk]

182.

 

[172Ben]

yawn.

Cooper would win.
