  Titanium 182
Puntos are MING :dead: :dead: :dead:

172 is a million miles better mate, nice colour choice too.

:approve:
 
  172 Cup
The Puntos are quick, however they are pony round corners and feel tinny, got the clio as its quick, modern better spec'd and the Mrs likes it alot which matters trust me!

Been in the back seats have we ;)

lol only had the car a day ha,

havent really had the chance to test the clio's full potential as the thing started missfiring after i filled it up with Supreme Unleaded, so as for acceleration in comparison to the GT ill have to update once the problem is fixed!
 
It will feel really slow in comparison. When I had my GT, I test drove a 182, and it felt like a 1.1, due to the fact I was used to the turbo feeling.

In real terms, the 172 will probably match a bog standard GT 0-100, but there aren't many standard GT's around nowadays.

My brother has my old GT, and I cannot start gaining on him until about 110mph. (Luckily my private runway is nice and long.) Cornering is a different league though.

Well this is the thing my GT was completely standard, apart from the Dump valve, i will miss the Turbo for sure. by the sounds of it you had a Seb4 set up lol.
 
  172 Cup
Yeh i was massively let down by speed in comparrison with my punto. But round corners, its immense!

Surely a standar 172 has to be quicker than a standard GT? you guys are talking Seb2's which are roughly 160bhp an weighing as much as a matchbox car.
 
  Clio172 / Focus Ti X
Both nice! Had a GT myself. Full seb2 setup with fmic etc lol! made 177bhp at the fly

running 19-20 psi! thing was nuts :D

sold it for an mr2 turbo which wasnt much faster and now i have a 172 aswell
