[Dubai182]

Type R getting outpaced by a RS? Apparantly filmed on a french motorway...sorry if a repost,not seen it before myself.

As always said they shouldnt be much in them, would have be intresting what happened at the top end when the CTR got its legs.

Yeah looked like it was coming back a bit and for sure the CTR wasn't pushing right to the very end when flying.

D!ckhead isn't wearing a seatbelt. Must say this tells us f'all.

 

[Hotshot]

nice vid, both great cars look forward to some similar action

At that speed a seatbeltisn't going to save you

And it tells me that his poverty spec 172 is faster than his friends breadvan, that said maybe it was full of Hovis?

Lightside 1 - Darkside 0

Cars a too close to call until you get to 100+ then the civic will pull away..

Did you not watch the same vid as me? RS seems to pull away everytime they say trois,deux,un!! Although to be fair,he does know exactly when he's gonna say 'drop it'.

Would you rather crash at that speed with or without a seatbelt? Yes I know the saga about seatbelts causing problems but as a general rule the seatbelt will save your life.

Surprised no one has mentioned that it is Cup, must be why he won. We don't know the state of play of these cars i.e. mods etc, so can't really comment, nice to see though.

Cool vid. Must have some balls to do that on a public highway, especially more than once. You'd be snapped up by Mr. Plod and his handy-cam if you tried that round here.

 

[Martin]

seemed to be unfair advantage to the reno driver calling the set off....

 

[GarethM]

good vid, but the cup driver had an advantage as he is counting down everytime.

foreign country . foreign rules..........lol

 

[Chris n nic]

I don`t have sound at work but does the other guy not know how to count? Surely he knows that `un` is going to come after 'deux'......I always use the horn to set it off...same principal as with counting....you kow when the last toot is coming and it always seems to work for me...alson what gear are the races as it looks like they are going way over 100 without the CTR pulling past much

Sounds like the RS has a chip, revs out pretty high.

 

[Timmay]

nice video - great fun

 

[James.]

The RS driver looks like a jerk.

 

[crazycup]

cool vid :evil:

lol @ poverty spec 172, you could never do that in rich 172.

 

[Englebert]

So many factors involved...hardly a fair duel. Besides, isn't the Cup over a second quicker to the ton than a normal 172 (from reading EVO)? Quite a big gap really.

 

[Gaz_]

^ lol!!!

those crazy french people, i've had a few commings together, its always nip and tuck tbh

 

[Dubai182]

Didn't really post it to show that a 172 cup is quicker...just to show a good vid.
The guy is cup sure does hammer home is gears,lol...crunch!

 

[gazcaddy]

I agree its not the fairest contest due to the start but the 172 does seem to have the edge. I guess we will never know if the cars are std or not.

Still Im sure the CTR boys would claim victory if it was the other way round!
