Valver being slow is quite a funny comment
I'd have one all day over a 172/182 even if I had the spare 8 grand +
Well, I'd have a williams actually, but my valver is QUICK enough until I get a williams.
Funny cos the 172/182 isn't incredibly quicker if were honest... granted it's quicker but not by silly amounts to justify calling a valver slow.

I didn't realise you were referring to me red valver. We weren't "racing". We were "driving". It is perfectly possible to drive responsibly, yet at the same time quickly and whilst having some fun.
SCooper/valver is v.close, but the SCooper edges it. Not as fun though, nor it is as fluid over normal british road surfaces so they'll be more uncomfortable than the valver driver.
As for 172/182. Well i've yet to see one hand any valver it's arse round the peaks. Maybe they have a bit of squirt on the straights but that can be more than made up in the corners. I'm sure the old skool n/w boys would tell you that.

I totally agree^^
I think a comment such as a valver being slow is very much provoking a reaction to be honest. Not needed really.
We'll settle with what we got eh?

Clio 182
Im yet to see this '172/182's are loads faster than valvers'
My car runs low 15s down the strip, on the same day, ive never seen a 172 or 182 run lower? Same story on the road, its the same all the way to 110/115.
Ive had a few plays with Cooper S's and have had edged past in 3rd/4th every time...

I really don't see how a much older car with 27bhp/ton less can be the same pace as a new one...unless you Valver drivers have much more skill that you are not telling us about 
As for the fast car comments, its all relative.

Focus ST
The quarter mile times aren't wildly different, but from what I've seen a standard valver is normally around the 16 second mark, a 172/182 closer to 15. (lets not forget that a second at 85-90mph = over 35metres (10 clio-lengths?) assuming identical reaction times, ).
Dan_mk1, good times bud, you obviously have a good one, and lightly modded iirc?
I personally think it would be very close between a Cooper S and valver in some situations, i.e. straight line blast when the valver is on cam and some b-road style twists.
However, that's just it about the valver (having owned one for 3 years), they aren't very good off cam meaning you can easily be caught out, and if you load up with a couple of decent sized passengers then you WILL struggle against a lot of 2.0litre+ repmobiles (as I found out to my embarressment a couple of times).
Great fun though - I want mine back!

Does seem to be a quick one tho....Neil, get yourself down to a proper strip then talk
I will be coming down sometime next summer, when I run 13's at the pod you can bow down and kiss my.... ;-)
Anyway back on topic, standard valvers are sssslllooooowwww.
Wow I can really feel the love in this thread!
Starts off with a simple question, How would a Valver stand up to a Mini Cooper S.
Turns in to a slanging match between Valver and 172/182 owners!
I say settle your arguments on a track........ as a suggestion why don't you swap cars after the first race and see if the driver has anything to do with your times?
Might also gain a bit of respect for one anothers cars at the same time, just a thought.
I personaly think a Valver would stand up quite well to a standard Cooper S, standard they arn't that quick compared to other hot hatches but through the bends it would probably give the Valver some trouble.
All in all I don't think a Standard S would shake a Valver.

Well a Phase 1 more so imo, but at the end of the day I see as many men driving Clio's as women and it could be argued that any car that bears a womans name is by definition Feminine.
Also seeing as most cars are refered to as "she" arn't they all feminine?
And seeing as men who drive allegedly "Masculine" cars are driving them because they are p*nis extensions and there over compensating, doesn't a man driving a so called "Girly car" mean he is the exact opposite?
Think about it for a second.....
