Shock Horror!!

[Tom]

The 182 is lighter than the 172!!


172 1110kg
182 1090kg
172 Cup (with a/c) 1046kg
172 Cup 1021kg
These are official unladen weights.

 

[jon_r]

So 17kgs lost in the spare wheel removal and 3kgs in the boot flooring

 

[JillyB]

Itll be 1091kg once youre sat in it then Tom *runs*

 

[iPap]

So how come its slower than the cup then, power to weight and all that?

 

[Tom]

Yeah.










Power To weight

168
167

Torque To weight

196
183

The cup has the higher figures

 

[iPap]

How

? ? ?

 

[MarkCup]

From figures above...

182 = 167 bhp/ton

Cup = 168 bhp/ton

And we all know how important that crucial 1 bhp/ton is eh

 

[MarkCup]

Ack!

Dont forget the 182 is 69kgs heavier than the Cup...roughly equivalent to a 11 stone passenger...

 

[Tom]

182 also has a new gearbox

JC5 130

172/cup have

JC5 129

Nice im sure that will last a long time, does JC5 mean junction 5, marker post 130 so the AA can find you?

From what I remember from the weight bridge the mark 2 172 weighs 1090 kg as well.. I would take those figures with a pinch of salt remember when the 172 mark 2 first came out they said it weighed 1040 kg...

Until we see "actual" peformance figures for a 182 (not manufacturers claims) then I think we should reserve judgement...
