Is it an 8v or is it a Redtop? The Redtop is the 16v c20xe/x20xe with 150/156 bhp. The 8v is the c20se 130 bhp or c20ne 115 bhp.
If we take it as the 150 bhp engine and the car weighs 850kg for arguments sake, letstorquebhp quotes 60 in 6.23 and drag qtr as 14.48. I don't think it will be that quick though TBH.
I would say there will be very little in it unless it is an 8v where you will have the advantage.

I'd challenge that, they are pretty fking quick, if their stripped out your looking at stupid power on a car weighing 850kg.
If they're setup and coilovered they also don't handle too badly, but in standard trim they are in fact shite.

does the 172 do 14.0 1/4 mile?
they are 2ltr 16v with 150bhp at least standard, and very strong engines, a lot make more than standard power and they weight fuk all as well!
i went to a track day with my mate and we had a blast with a turbo 2ltr nova! he was pulling away on the straights with ease, but every corner the clio nailed him, and we eventually got past! they are crap at handling but damn quick in a straight line!
iv raced enough of them at york in my time when i had my old clios! i was runnin 14.1 all day and they were all about on par! my mates mk1 172 was running 15's all day!

Appologies! I was just refering to the handling of that one in question thats all not the straight line speed!!
iv seen it at no end of track days, and had a good neb, and its obviously 'sorted' in the handling department...and still crap! :rasp:
novas are renowned for being s**t handling, regardless of coilies, especially with a heavy 2ltr in the front!
a 17poo should eat it for breakfast on the corners!

Dan, you wont piss on a 14.0 1/4 miling Nova... I doubt you'd even get near that time even with mods tbh.
Laura, you will struggle against it big time tbh if thats the time it's running... stripped out you'd still prolly get panned... best bet is to just use my car against it, we'll swap the plates over for a run and pan it into oblivion
