standard mk2 172s aint that much slower then a cup? are they?

On the road absolutely not. On the track, lighweight and suspension make quite a difference.

I thought Evo pegged both Cups at 6.5, and the standard 182 at 6.6?

Auto express had the 182 @ 6.3 to sixty, just to throw a spanner in the works.

absolute rubbish, OR.... great, makes the 172 cup faster then - all 182s have failen miserably against mine

Pound for pound and all variables equal the 182 cup has the highest power to weight ratio so in theroetical terms will produce the fastest 0-60 everytime. It is physically impossible for it not to be faster!

However in the real world we all know there are so many variables such as mileage, fast ones/slow ones, differing drivers, tyres etc that on different days in different cars any RS clio could come out faster.

I didnt say I believed it, but what makes the Evo time for the Cup anymore credible?

Theres nothing between any of them. If 182s are failing miserably against your Cup - then your very lucky. Im not sure what you class as miserable failure, but in a straight line, you wouldnt split them. I think brazo summed it perfectly.
