[maz172cup]

i didnt realise how fast Megane r26 is over the clio RS - can sum1 confirm this or is the driver in the clio asleep

Rolling start at motorway speeds the clio would have no chance. Not so much in it to 60 from experience

 

[brisa4984]

nope.. dont think that is right

the meg is def faster but certainly not that quick shown in the vid.

 

[ForceIndia]

About right, see what the R26 does to a golf gti

[Mike@Rentech]

having owned both, clio is slow compared to the megane.
Just had mine RR'd on a dyno dynamics made 250bhp with 250lbft torque running 1 bar of boost.

 

[Brasseye]

yea but golf gti is slow

250bhp is usefull !!!

 

[ForceIndia]

yea but golf gti is slow

Rubbish. Will stay with a 182 without issue.

 

[Bazzon]

Once the megane is rolling it will destroy a clio but standing start evens it out. But once up to speed megane will be away.

that is spot on. from experience it pulled about 3-4 car lengths and growing after a ton. The original vid shows about 50 car lengths after a blip of the throttle

 

[coatesy]

wey if we are talking standard vs standard then ive raced 1 of the 1st 225's upto 60mph then around a roundabout and i do beleive he nearly crashed taking the roundabout plus we were level up to it but cause the megane after 60mph will walk it

 

[Brasseye]

Rubbish. Will stay with a 182 without issue.

no way will golf gti stay with a 182

 

[ForceIndia]

no way will golf gti stay with a 182

Ok

 

[coatesy]

yes a mk5 gti will keep up with a 182 no problem

 

[clio_luke]

rolling start above 50mph... the meg will kill the clio.
standing start... fairly even until 60ish then the meg pulls away comfotably.

no supprise really

 

[Brasseye]

Ok GTi,s must have got a lot faster they were 0 to 60 in 8 seconds a few years ago

 

[kev182cup]

Depends on model of sport megane, my mate has a 05 trophy which beats my 172 cup after about 110 mph but f1s in my experience are equal to my car have been up against a few.

 

[coatesy]

theres only 5bhp difference in the megane models doubt theres going to be a difference in straight line performance.
and brasseye u are talking about the mk4 150bhp we are talking about mk5 197bhp about 7secs to 60

it says 182 on the thread which has same performance as 172. and every car is different regardless of power claims. You ever actually raced another Renault. 197 are just as fast as 172 and 182 as my mate who is on this forum has a f1 197.

The mk4s maybe, but they weren't fit to wear the GTI badge.



The MK5s totally different, more power and with dsg will hit 60 in 7.

add in plenty of torque, and they'll easily keep up with a 182 on the open road.

iirc mylifemyphones R26 was remapped, so running 260bhp or so v the 182 with around 80bhp, so on a rolling start i dont see what the big surprise is?

Big power counts

a 197 will keep close to a 182,172 cup but it will not be neck and neck check your power to weight stats

 

[david hodson]

Having owned both 172 and r26 , standard megane is deffo quicker after 90 mph!

 

[nth]

...assuming the megane would eventually overtake?

my link didnt work for me so may be a repost but i think this is best representation of the difference between the two

4.4 v8 unit so no huge surprise it has more top end!! 333bhp and 331lbft.

 

[kyle_sxi]

its should be faster its a turbo lol

Hence why they have a 6 speed gearbox with lower ratios, helps haul the higher wieght along at a very similar speed.

They wouldnt make the 197 slower than the previous model 182, but also no faster as thats where the Megane comes in.

 

[coatesy]

so the 197 is 230kg heavier than my cup(about the weight as 3adults) and has less than 30bhp more. upto 100mph a clio 172-182cup will beat a 197 if only by a couple car lengths.

why not? the new civic type R is slower than the old one!
I've had a couple of encounters with 197s and in all honesty given them a proper good run for their money, but never would I have been able to judge which was f@ster as on public roads it is difficult to judge.
Anyway back to R26s, they are bound to pull away from 182s in straight line, never mind the bhp, just think about all the extra torque the turbo produces!

Thats what i thought

 

[Simon7929]

The Megane R26 is quicker in a straight line but not by a great deal until you hit three figures then the difference is quite noticeable as people have said. However the the Meganes trump card is the ability to carry speed out of corners that will shame most machinery with a lot more power. You have to drive one to really appreciate the silly speeds achievable through the twistys.

 

[Mr Burns]

Bit of a bump, eh!

 

[Simon7929]

Oh yes, just noticed the dates God knows how I came across this thread.
