E36 M3,172 cup
I wouldnt take that for gospel, e46 m3's get consistantly faster times than clio's around the Nurburgring, and if you've ever seen an m3 at the track you can see they are capable of carrying much higher speeds round corners than Clio's. I would say my low boost clio is on par with an e46 m3 and it would still be a struggle
I have race my own Clio in my m3 and it couldn't put handle it and that's without the straight line speed added to the advantage but with a set of front discs at £378 pads £200 and when a gearbox breaks it's a grand without labour and a engine will see a bank loan being take Out to rectify.
Now I'm looking at upgrading houses it's to much to spend on a toy for me
