has no abs, and the suspension is 3mm lower, there is nothing in it on the road but on track if both cars are driven by good drivers the cup will have a slight advantage due to the lower weight. this question normally turns into a bun fight as cup owners seem to think the cup is massively quicker. ask cbs cup (christian) me and him raced from swindon to cheltenham at speeds upto !30 mph and you could not split the two cars at all
Weeman sucks ****
Cups are also a bit more tail-happy, especially round the round-abouts due to naff all inside...WEY HEY.
Silly taking ABS off i think, renault.
Cups are also a little wider on the ground, Not by much, 20mm at the front and 10mm at the back. This helps with the handling apparently, I have not driven a normal 172 so cant really comment,
I would expect on the road there wouldnt be much difference, On the track however maybe a different story.
The wheels are nicer on the Cup.
hehe excuses excuses christian, you may be a little more "cuddly" than me but im a bit taller so probably not that much in itQuote: Originally posted by cbscup on 28 July 2003
Loonys right - blasts from between 50mph right up to !30 see very little difference between the two cars (I do weigh a little more)...
The reasons I opted for the Cup is that I liked the colour, theres less of them about but most importantly - it was cheaper!!!!
With a title like "Cup or Fat 172" Id say you have already made up your mind which you prefer, sounds more like someone trying to start an argument to me. Thats like me saying 172 or low spec Cup?
Both cars are fantastic, at the end of the day its all down to what you put higher on your list of priorities. I like all my toys, and for the few days a year I might get the car on track compared to all the days I sit in traffic I know what suites me better. It might be different for you.

Well if he did want a argument it didnt really work (yet)..
Everyone has givin a pretty honest opinion I think and its up to him now to decide.
Yes you can call the mk2 172 a fatty cause its the heaviest of the 3 (mk1 172, mk2 172 and Cup)
In that company yes its heavier, its hardly a rick waller though is it ?
