[Will.]

I don't understand that video....Was it a race?

 

[juliancho]

Yes... and de winner was the CW

 

[Fletcher]

Cool

 

[prince_zorro]

Mint..!!!

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Looks mean!

 

[luk3matth3ws]

williams should always beat it, much lighter

 

[Jon.G]

R53 or R56?

 

[Crippin]

But the mini would of probably looked a damn site nicer.

 

[Mr Burns]

Is it me or is that Minis windscreen f*cked?

 

[mini_nick]

williams should always beat it, much lighter

I doubt it, the mini would be quicker if the Williams was standard (which it doesn't sound to be!)

[kev182cup]

but if the mini was modified the clio wouldnt stand a chance. appparently. lol

 

[Fede Moffo]

TIENE CHIMICHURRI

 

[Mr Burns]

If they were both standard there probably wouldn't be much in it, I'd imagine the Clio would have the edge though being so light.

 

[Alastair.]

Yea if your gay.

 

[mini_nick]

It would be quite close, although the mini wins on the power to weight ratio. Despite the username I'm not biased

I can't work out how old the Mini is, but the earlier ones are only 163bhp. So the power to weight should be in favour of the Clio.

 

[Craigus]

Great vid.

Done under highly scientific conditions, standard vs modified.

Cool.

 

[RDH]

R53 or R56?

R56.

 

[joshclio999]

its a turbo one.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Yea if your gay.

Indeed.

 

[mini_nick]

149 bhp per tonne to the mini and 143 to the clio. Close.

 

[Craigus]

If it's an R56, they are over 200bhp standard, so either the williams is boosted or the mini wss making it look like the williams is faster.

Still a shitty old french hatchback that will probably have rusted out by now.

 

[deer_dodger]

I think the four levels of tune so far for the R56 variants are; 175bhp, 192bhp, 211bhp and 218bhp depending on whether it's standard, standard with a JCW upgrade or a factory JCW.

 

[deer_dodger]

I think a lot of these videos where certain cars manage to beat other cars on road or track are completely dependant on;

1. Skill of the driver
2. Mechanical sympathy, and
3. Whether the driver of the apparently faster car is trying at all

Rather than the underpowered car has beaten a more powerful make/model in some David verses Goliath biblical miracle!

i.e Clio 1.2 beats Ferrari Enzo round Nurbergring

 

[Brian172]

I hate these types of videos. prove absolutely nothing.

 

[RDH]

Yeah boggo R56 engines are 175 bhp.

 

[The Boosh!]

I'd have expected the mini to walk that tbh. Williams wasn't standard IMO

 

[Mr Burns]

What's the 0-60mph of a Williams anyway? My Type-R easily pulls away from my mates Cooper S, it is the Supercharged one though.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Think they are about 7.5 seconds to 60 might be wrong

If its a healthy one it shouldn't lag behind the civic much, bypass valves get clogged on the supercharged ones tell your mate to get it checked!

+1, should be a close one with a type R, they honda would pull a little though.

I like minis, they're a good all rounder and I think it's great how light they are for a modern car!

 

[Taleski]

just curious, 182ff vs the supercharged minis?

 

[Craigus]

just curious, 182ff vs the supercharged minis?

Pretty much the same, either could win depending on the driver from my experience.

182 and/or Mini vs Type R, pretty much the same up until 100 where the Honda will start to pull.

 

[mini_nick]

Yeah I've seen similar. The mini makes up for its lack Of bhp with a wide spread of torque

 

[alex-avfc]

Not just me that thought that then!

unless the mini has a 17% etc etc

 

[Craigus]

Indeed. Or if the Clio has matched inlets and cams etc etc. But that's a bit pointless to discuss.

 

[_Tom]

So what would win between a CTR and 182? hahaha

 

[joshclio999]

but a clio with matched inlets and cams would still be slower....
