Clio Cup vs Heavily modified Volvo v70

[CJ_RR]

At the end of the day, it's still a Volvo. No matter how much BHP it's packin. No Kudos!

Volvo's are full of win.

Did the OP get humped by the Volvo ?

 

[piranhamatt]

He hasn't got it yet

but I did scare the hell out of him on country roads due to this thread

Oh right, I thought he'd had it a while or something. Let him get used to the thing before you got out tearing it about

I'm tempted to buy an 850 just to make a replica. There's a full set of BTCC decals for sale on swedespeed!

An update to this.

On a private airstrip/racetrack/dragstrip etc

Both launching at the same time. The clio being lighter pulled ahead first but

Uphill the volvo overtook when the clio was doing 70
Downhill the volvo overtook when the clio was doing 90

Lets average it as 80 on a flat then... Therefore the clio holds its ground fine at legal speeds yay.


Rolling speeds next time..

Me and Fletcher had a play with modded T5 last year on the motorway and it went like stink shame it blew up

I highly doubt it has the bhp/torque that has been stated then as it should leave you for dust (unless he can't drive of course)

I was thinking the same thing. It must be broken.

I do love the Vo though!

Clio starts to die in 4th so your results were no surprise. Rolling starts I'd expect the Clio to get milkweed.

Clio will be raped, savagely, from rolling starts.

Or any kind of in-gear flexibility for that matter.

 

[warwickstingray]

Milkweed. Ha! Mullered I meant.

That T5 was silly quick, even the fabia vrs couldn't keep up

My mate had an 850 T5 estate years ago, I managed to drive it a few times. It will be way ahead of a clio in a straight line. Not sure about corners, seems this guy has spent some money on the suspension. Will still be really heavy so I'd imagine the clio would close the gap there.

Agreed, blatantly not the power his mate thinks it is.

Either that or the guy with the cup hasnt noticed someone turbo'd it, lol.

well I did the timing

I'm going to use the word 'milkweed' in a sentence tomorrow. That is all.

 

[warwickstingray]

HTC one predictive text is a special thing.

 

[mokeyat]

Yes. My wife's name is Sheena, but my phone calls her Sherman. I don't correct it.
