Clio vrs Golf

LOL ^^^ sounds about right.

I've only ever driven a V5 Mk4; everything was so numb I really had no idea what was gong on at the front, back, or anywhere in between.

You're right Ian, the world is far longer than a 1/4 mile...how straight is it after that first 1/4 mile then?

They do sound the fcuking nuts in there defense, lol

i agree that i think an r32 if being driven by the right guy would hammer a 172, i spend lots of time on the autobahn half my customers are in germany, and the clio will not pull much on a 130/150 hp deisel passat, let alone the golf with the same engine, and if for a secong u forget to drop it into forth, it'll be right on your bumper on a 5th gear 70mph start. that clio has to be up above 5k or it wont go like a deisel. Dont mention 330D Bmws, i have a video of one of those making my 172 and toms 182 looking silly. LOL

Yeah the 182 so much like the CTR, you have to be in the right gear otherwise its quite sluggish

Im assuming the 330d was at quite high speeds, as my brothers old 330ci couldnt pull anything on my 182 upto eighty (not sure about after that, although i would assume the bmw would be much quicker after a ton)

LOL You ever driven a scooby wrx? they actually start going backwards if your in the wrong gear, LOL

I raced a very fast mk4 1.8t golf, obviously had some work done as i only started to really catch him at about 120, on a private road of course

Lesson to be learnt, there are some fast golf's, even if they are lardy.

 

[Weeman]

A lesson that can be learnt on any given sunday at the ring, LOL

The diesels can be quite quick, but be very wary of racing a chipped 1.8T... those things can easily outrun a Clio after 100.

sorry but not had any problems with 2 instances of R32's on a nice straight dual carriage way near me.. slowely sailed past them each time... (Cup)

Probably not trying then... because they ARE faster than any standard 2.0 Clio.

 

[Weeman]

agreed ^^^^ I've sailed past lamborgini's on the motorway, i'm pretty sure they weren't trying.

My uncle has a MK 4 2.8 V6 4 Motion, My 172 is quicker to 60/70 than his however as soon as we get to 80/90 Catches up with me, over a Ton and its gone.
My mate Has a MK 4 GTI 1.8T Anniversary (Ltd Edition) they have 180 BHP as Std mine was infront from the word go and stayed that way.
Not raced a R32 but would imagine I would get pished on!
