differences between the 172 and 172 cup?

[posi_saxo]

howdy guys! been looking for a 172 and noticed a 172 cup, what are the main differences between the 2? cheers

 

[Big Iain]

cup is alot slower and has s**t spec!

Shhhoooosh!!!

172 Cup is a stripped down version. Deleted equipment over the 172. Xenons, Front washers, leather, AC, Spare wheel, traction/cruise, ABS. But it has thinner glass, Speedline Turini Wheels as standard, bigger rear spoiler, front splitter, uprated more focused suspension. Including revised caster, wider track, thicker rear stub axles etc. The weight saved is near 90kgs, so makes the power to rate ratio better than a standard 172. Come in either Mondial Blue (most common) and a few in Silver. Some of the last run cars came with Climate control. Imo the Cup is the one to have. Looks the best in standard trim, and feels more alert. I'd have another no question
My old one

 

[Big Iain]

To be fair yeah the cup does loook better but with minimal costs the ff version can look just as good but still have all ur toys. Of all the cups I came up against in my ff 1*2's I wouldnt say any were faster unless they were modifed.

tbh if i didnt already have one then those piccys would swing it for me. that is beautiful...... driven both... prefer the cup. just feels more raw. like a hot hatch should

Aye, they look like a hot hatch too!!! Non of this dynamique look-a-like alloys, no roof spolier, poor colour range garbage

 

[Big Iain]

My two old 172's looked just as good imo even with Dynamique rims lol

 

[Dafthead]

Who cares, they're both w**k

 

[Big Iain]

Who cares, they're both w**k

Very true!

 

[alex-avfc]

Depends wat ur after. Personally I know once Ive got enough I;ll go for the 172 because of its tasty part leather trim and standard xenons

 

[posi_saxo]

the cups in them pics looks soo damn good!cheers guys

cup is more for the enthusiast who is going to thrash it round some b-roads from time to time...

Normal 172 is for the driver who likes to have a bit of speed when he needs it.










ph1's for the champs though tbh.

Not being funny but I thrash my 172 just as much as I would if I had a cup.
I just like to have the nicer interior, climate, esp.......

 

[Tobs]

well i dont think i would ever see a grandad driveing a cup put it that way

i got a cup and somtimes with the money it cost i think that i would like to have some more gagets for my money but there fun to drive and are one of the more track focused car

But they arent standard are they? You have the Cup splitter on the Black one, and V6/Trophy spoiler/182 rims on the Red. Dont need them with a Cup
