Nippy white cup
Simple really. If you want more luxuries spend that bit extra and get a 172.
If your not too bothered about posh seats and heat reflective windows then get the Cup. So you dont get ABS, there are plenty of fast 16 valves and the like which havent got it.
Really is down to what you want m8
Nippy white cup
Hmm not sure about .1 faster m8.
Different spec, have look on http://www.renault.co.ukwww.renault.co.uk
Cup = lower spec, but NOT a lesser car!! (they do now come with abs as an option)
172 = Top spec, The dogs!! But you pay more.

About .3 / .4 difference to 60 and about 1 1/2 secs difference to 100, less focused, softer and less grip.

I know you not getting at the 172 but sorry.. just to re-itterate..
WTF is less focused ???
how can a car be less focused ?? it has no mentality of any sort ? its all in you head ! its a mental thing in your head !
and by softer you mean better ride quality.
. while still being able to go round a 90 degree bend at 100mph .. hah.. Cup owners .. ya got to love em really.
_KDF if you ever want to meet and and try to follow me round some corners/round abouts your more than welcome m8. Teady has tried to follow me and a Cup on the limit will just drive away from a 172 round corners, i.e because the 172 is less focused.
Just like a CTR is less focused than a ITR, because Honda have made the CTR more comfortable, quieter, better ride quality i.e less focused.

I would be more than happy to meet up.. in all seriousness I would expect the Cup to win, be faster in a straight line and round bends.. its what being lighter is all about.
I just didnt get the focused bit ? in order to be focused it would have to have some kind.. you know what it doesnt matter.
I can say that yes the Cup is faster and quicker round corners.. I just like to wind you up.. and just because you should be quicker and faster round corners doesnt mean I wont give it a go. (but not this w/end as I am off to alton towers).
Ps. a CTR is nothing compared to the GOD that is the ITR. I dont even see them and being part of the same family of cars.

Less focused as in 2.55secs per lap sloooower than a Cup round Bedford using the same racing driver!!!

"First time out in the Cup and within half a lap its obvious that the 172 will struggle to keep sight of the new car when we strap the test gear on, while the V6 will need an exceptionally brave & skiiled pilot to challenge its lap times!"
Horses for courses really. If you want a quick but well specced car you get the 172, but if you want a no-frills peformance car and/or fancy doing track days then the Cup is the one you want.
I also prefer the look of the Cup and the mondial paint, alloys, splitter & spoiler are spot on IMO.

I agree with this i think the colour, alloys etc are much better than the standard 172 but guess its down to personel choice.
I would like air con but guess i can live with out it, and abs would be nice.
I can get a new cup deliverd to my door with mats, 12 months tax and usual waranty for £11,718 - not bad i guess unless you know different?
Im still a bit confused.
Cheers
