According to Renault its a 172 Cup. So a 172 isnt a Cup and a Cup isnt a 172 but a 172 is only a Cup when its a 172 Cup and a 172 is only a 172 when it isnt a 172 Cup.

Now thats cleared that up hasnt it?

thatnks 4 dat me man

 

[viceroy]

I do have some more questions...my 172 has Cup holders, so if i put a Cup into the holder does that give me a 172 Cup? If I then add another Cup do I have a 172 Twin Cup? Or does the Cup in the 172 become a 172 Cup?

You know what I meant!



There are no stats though, as they never did proper timed performance runs, just driving comparisons over some twisty French mountain roads...

Basically, the 206 is good, but the Cup is better!



Will try to get it scanned in.

[Scudetto]

actually, if you have a 172 Cup but no cups in the cup holder, is it a 172 (sans) Cup Cup?

A 172 Cup with no Cups...Id send it back to the dealer to have them fitted along with the badges on the door pillars and the front splitter...but wouldnt that now be adding Weight to the car which is against the point of the Cup entirely...Just put a paper Cup into your cup...should really help out the power to Weight issue

Yeah... about a year ago...

Actually 2 issues ago - they thought the 180 was poo and the cup was probably the best hot hatch since the original 205 GTi....................
