Cup faster than new RS...

[iPap]

Saw it with my own eyes!

 

[Jones]

yep i saw it too, and if that track was greasey then it must have some sort of funny fake tyre squealing speaker device fitted to it

 

[182_blue]

new rs what ??

 

[dk]

new rs what ??

lol

 

[Mike_SE]

ST you mean

 

[Lagerlout]

lol... That was the 182 Cups time wasn't it?

 

[iPap]

RS? ST? Same beast!

 

[172beast]

182 Cup dry track, ST greasy track, only 1 second in it wasn't there? Same conditions ST would beat it going by that

 

[Jones]

Wahay another bit of cliosport pedanticness!!

 

[Andi-B]

RS? ST? Same beast!

thought they were 2 totally different cars...

still doesnt this look like a good picture? ....

Read it and weep Ford :clown: :approve:

Didn’t he say it would be quicker than the VXR in good conditions though??

 

[Lagerlout]

I don't care if it's slower round a track than a Clio, it's a lovely car imho. I'm thinking of getting one in a couple of years.

its not mate, as clarkson said in the proper conditions it would be faster than the vxr and golf, and dont forget its 10 secs faster around nurb than the old RS too

 

[jonnyboy]

just have to mention at this point the car you cant see on there is the "lardy, heavy, doesnt handle" megane 225 which did it in on 1.32.5 lol 1.5 secs behind a 911 turbo. no further questions your honour hehe

ST looked good though didnt it, very composed and a big hatch doing the french dog peeing three wheel trick? that fecker with 350 brake would be intresting

 

[182_blue]

hehe, yeh but moments later the engine managment went wrong and the baffles blew out of the exhaust ;-)

 

[Andi-B]

/\/\/\/\/\ Pmsl

 

[Clarkie172]

i quite like it tbh! 2.5 turbo! theres gota be some good potential there!

 

[jonnyboy]

well we're all familiar with renault build quality, they broke a clio v6 as well didnt they? Still faster and thats all that counts (on this forum anyway usually)

It only counts when it's the Clio which is fastest, otherwise it's the price and spec which counts. lol

No car can beat a Clio on ClioSport, it's an unwritten law.

Oooh I dunno .... give me a nice Remap Skoda RS and I might disagree

 

[Dansta]

ne1 remember what conditions were involved with the 182 cup? ;op


either way, they should just settle it all and put the 172 cup round the track and smash em all. ;op

i looked on the topgear website and it doesn,t show the 225 on the list

 

[fizzy_drink]

err... if any 225 did make it on the list, it would be 225 with "cup" packs afaik.

 

[Jones]

well the clio is in a different class of car anyway, i wonder what the lap time would be for a fiesta st?

 

[jonnyboy]

err... if any 225 did make it on the list, it would be 225 with "cup" packs afaik.

It was either aa trophy or cup that did the lap "half a second faster" than the VXR as clarkson said on the astra VXR's lap when it was featured with the golf gti and meg. They had a trophy on the film but a cup in the studio so dont know which it was that posted the time. The original 225 did 1.34 dead. 2 10ths behind a clio cup aint nothing to be ashamed of in my book.

 

[badinvincible]

I prefer the Golf GTi over the VXR and the ST.

Just my 2p worth.

 

[rcp]

I prefer the Golf GTi over the VXR and the ST.

agree with that.

 

[Ali]

0.7 slower than a noble....wit!!!!!!!

182 Cup time was in thick snow, bad fog, with a strong head wind wasn't it ??

 

[blink172]

Were they running it on Sainsburys 95 or 98 Optimax?

 

[howie p]

how can a clio only be a second or two behind a supercar (noble/911)??

baffling!!

amazing!!

 

[182 sport]

the st would have been faster than the clio,but road conditions were bad
