I have read so much nonsence about CUPs. Even to the extent that they have a DIFFERENT Gear RATIOS and ENGINE MAPS ( U guys have to understand there is no difference other than a small weight saviing (granted, small increase in performance). Having had all three over three years. This madness is pathetic. Even to the stage that the MK1 VS MK2 is so far apart.
U guys need to understand there is no real dif.. between MK1 & MK2 & CUP
Other than it appearts CUP guys have an inferiority complex
Having had an alloy bonet MK1 and U all forget most of MK1s were steel. There is too much nonsence about weight. MK1- MK2 most would be 15-20KGs and that is generous. The vast majority of changes are electrical not bodywork
why cant U guys just say the real "Truth". If U want a 0.40 - 0.0 difference between what is essentially the same car Say so , dont use excuses for lack of "what is basic every day specs." (sorry Renault, have played a good hand here) Yet again you may want JUST the "cut down" version, which is fantastic.
Sorry I have heard so much nonesence about CUPS being so different to MK12 172S.
Christ there is no real dif.
BIT OF WEIGHT LOSS.
What idiots have being saying "Hologen lights weigh so much" !!!!Must be all of 1lb (.5kg God, No they do not even weight so much more). Granted the wheels must ne an extra 10KG. What else, some wiiring. Where is the weight in a climate control????????
(sorry 3mm drop & track difference that is almost unnoticable, being it is almost entirely offset wheel allignment )
There seem to be some "uneducated people" that rely on magazines for information.
What fools!!!!! None of these actually give fair or consistent answers
0-60 ranges from 6.6 - 8.5.( PS. includes the whole RS range) exept V6
I do accept peoples choices, however there is "reality" and just say "YEH MY CAR IS QUICK" Its what we want afterall. Enjoy UR full on version 0r UR cut down one. WHO CARES??????????
just accept that there is no "real" difference between all the RS Clios.
Any IDIOT that says the CUP is a "special" "Track day car" "different map/gear box/"Group N derived" U people have bought into as much B***SH*T as the REPUBLICAN GUARD.
People on this site used to listen to experience & years of knowledge.
SHAME!!!!! NO MORE
What a waste, All anyone seems to do is argue with no clue as to reality. TOO MANY YOUNG FOOLS " NOT ENOUGH GRIP ON REALITY"
I WILL BT FLAMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bring it on. Only in that U childish individuals have no clue as to actually driving safely and quickly on roads. If U R under 30(well, maybe older, like me) with no real experience U "WILL NOT" have a clue . U will undoubtebly be able to get the power down quicker to BURN peoole off. Who knows your rediculous intentions "Ive burnt this N that"
YET!!!!!!!!!
No one knows. THIS Rhetoric means "SH*TE"
I have driven cars and never crashed, and I mean driving.
e.g. (TODAY) PUNTO GT T pulls away as we turn R into the junction. He sees me and goes. GOD does he go, If I had followed I would have been yet another young fool. I watch the road ahead. He went like a teenager and had to brake before the car ahead. "D!!K" So easy !!!Already watched & followed the road, While young fool was trying to beat me all I had to do was watch the space. Within 200 yds I was gone past him, and two others. So what I did not respond to an idiot youngster who thought "I can burn him"
10 years of advanced Police driving has told me DONT LET CHILDREN THINK THEY KNOW BETTER.
That may include U people who think they are the best drivers in the world on roads.
Tracks and drag stips are a way to make U feel good, but will kill U or UR car ( as we have all seen so much of) if U take this BSH!! on the public roads.
I know I will not be loved for this!!!!
However, I and a few other people here will.. Flame me if U will. Matters not.
I know, I should not preach, given what I have said,
I did not need to be in anyway dangerous to prove a point,. It is called being aware!!!!!!
