hi.

How come you chose to go from a cupra to 172?

 

[mrzoggs]

not sure really, had it up for sale/px and bin offered a 172 and some dollar my way.

i agree with alot of people on here that say straight line speed isnt everything.

as my cupra is quick in a straight line, i wouldnt rate its handling at all. also to put a proper suspension setup on a cupra your looking near on a grand. if you just put it on springs for looks you going to make your car a nightmare to drive.

also going on the straight line speed thing, i reckon you can have more legal back lane thrashing fun, than you can going round town drag racing chav's in corsa's and saxos! and theres always going to be a faster car in a straight line than yours.

i used to have a 106 gti aswell and this is obviously similar from a handling perspective. and i love thrashing it around back lanes to the beach etc, so i see this as a good opportunity.

Ah cool.

If you loved the B road thrashing of a gti i'm sure you'll enjoy a 172 mate.

yeah i loved it, got a video somewhere of me filming us going round the back lanes in my mates gti. if you watch for a few mins you get to the fun bits.....
