172 Cup
Hi all, I have recently bought a beautiful 2002 model 172 cup and am very pleased with it, my previous 'quickish' cars before this were a bmw e36 325is , and an st24 mundane'o, and I have to say that I'm very impressed with the cup, nails those 2 cars for handling, and acceleration.
I'll cut to the chase, so were going down the duely and coming off a roundabout, spotted is an e30 m3 right up my ass so I felt obligated to really wind it open and see how it goes, and after about 5k rpm hell breaks loose, and the e30 takes a back seat.
My question is does the 172 cup have some type of variable valve timing? because doesn't it GO SOME! Just to add I have done 2 runs to gatwick in the last 2 weeks from devon, and have averaged 46 mpg!! WTF
Thanks, John
