Cup 172 vs Full Fat 172

[D1CKY]

As above is there much difference in performance figures for the cup 172 and the 172 ff ?

I thought it'd only be a half second or so as they have same top end ? :S

But having read a few posts on here they seem a lot quicker :S :dapprove:

What would a cup be like with the same mods as me ?

Which is a decat powerflow system and k & n panel filter with uprated feed to lower grill with acoustic valve removed ?

A bit quicker or around the same ?

I know there lighter and wider track etc and suspension is diff but is it honestly noticable against a ff ?

Or would it be just round the twisties ?

Often the Cups are quicker they don't have any power spapping AUX belt stuff.

There not much in it you find quite 172 and slow Cups. A CUp should on adverage win its basicaly like driving your car with one person not in the car (imagine the performance gains if you did vs didn't have a passenger).

the 172 cup would leave a normal 172 by a fair distance, granted it may crash at somepoint

here is my speed guide on all RS 2.0 clios (straightline)

mk2 172 cup
mk2 phs 1 172 (phs quick)
the rest
mk2 172 (unfortunatley its the slowest)

Slowest by how much?

 

[darren_rallye]

I'm sure this is a marginal in reality? Surely not car lengths of hammering?

 

[Fred@BTM]

a 172 cup upto 100 i would estimate would be maybe 4 car lengths ahead

 

[kully]

even a few car lengths up to 100 , though does depend on driver and individual cars , always amazes how quick certain cars are with no mods ....DONNY:rasp:

 

[Se7en172]

Its all acceleration wise though isn't it does not make no difference to top end unless i'm mistaken

Whats the weight advantage a Cup has over a standard 172 again?

 

[kully]

89 kgs

 

[D1CKY]

89 kgs

Would that reallly make a fair odds ?

 

[MarkCup]

Have you tried lifting 89kgs?

It's about 14.5 stone...try dragging that along...it makes a difference.

 

[Fred@BTM]

its not just the weight difference, IMO the engines have more power (well they do have the RS manifold afterall, plus no aircon)

hmm havent we forgot oout hybrid?

 

[Sib]

what power and weight you got on the beast now Batman?
