Supercharged 172 vs Vee

[realnumber 1]

A supercharged 172 against a supercar

What do Vee's run the 1/4 in? Low to mid 14's? I'd back a well launched Cup to scare one down the quarter, never mind a 250 bhp+ 172!

+1 tbh

 

[Kneel]

Charged V6 Kills all?

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

so is a Clio V6 as fast as a Maseratti?

Mine will match a V in a straight line. Sure yours would see one off!

 

[sideways danny]

SC 172 would destroy a Vee, not even close. low 13s, maybe high 12s down the strip

 

[ddouble]

i reckon you would do well in a mk2 v6 to hit the book figure 14.2s on a quarter mile.


id be amazed if a standard vee could keep up with a supercharged 172. Be intresting to watch though.

 

[Barron]

r26r would be a closer match pace wise, but youd have that as well

my 202bhp ITB clio left a R26R in a line by a few car lengths up the straight at croft. I was in the R26R as a passenger and Bazzon was driving the clio with a passenger

The 172 would win

impressive, as the r gets to a hundered in 14.9 so your car should comfortaby keep up with/beat a new FRS... nice

 

[T.Trophy]

In all honesty I don't think there'd be that much in it 0-60 due to fwd traction troubles.

In a roll on/in gear blast the 172 would be away.

Oi Ben stop bragging LOL

 

[Fredy]

Ill put my money on SC 172. Anyone disagrees? Put your money where your mouth is LOL

 

[kingchrissyp]

I d have guessed the 172 would beat it by quite a bit,i watched a video of a clio with about 230 bhp level peggings with a M3 so should easily get passed the V6 clio :approve:

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

cant believe this thread is actually serious, the two cars are in a totally different performance bracket tbh. V6 Clio would not see which way it went

agreed, no contest :S

 

[jayxx83]

love the banter!

 

[W111ALG]

Surely only fair if the Vee is also supercharged!!

 

[172Ben]

Yes, comparing modded to standard isnt really fair cop

 

[VIICarCare]

+1!

Most people with the vee, don't care for performance. It's about the looks, the noise, the presence and the "personality" of it!

agreed, well said lad

 

[mace¬]

Ph1 Vee would win, not the lardy arse ph2 though.

 

[Subway]

A supercharged shopping trolley Vs. A Super Car? ummmmm ok.

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

Yes, comparing modded to standard isnt really fair cop

Nor is comparing a £25k car to a £15k car

Comparing V6's to cars in it's class has been done before in fairness, think we all know how that one ends up :rasp:

 

[Andyman]

When you planning on taking it to the strip?

Will be really interesting to see what times it pulls

 

[sideways danny]

nah, it'd get to the first corner and think it was a cup in the wet

 

[Ali]

what did matt's Clio TT run up the strip and what power was it...

 

[172Ben]

400bhp + running low 12's at santa pod. The car ran an amazing 11.9 @ 122mph later in the day without Gas

[YOUTUBE]Ss8Mupq5vbc[/YOUTUBE]

 

[Ali]

Right, well i don't see a s/c 172 doing 12's...

Spec C @ 340bhp only does 12.4.

 

[172Ben]

I reckon low 13's?

 

[Ali]

I reckon low 13's?

Yep.
Some one try it...and video it...

What we need on this forum is a video of

Vee vs 172/182/197
172/Williams

Oh it would end so many 6page threads!!

 

[172Ben]

Its mad when you think 250bhp gets you around 13.2ish, then to get another 1.3 seconds off, you need another 150bhp and it to weigh fook all.

Agree with the vids, im up for it

 

[DMS]

We should have a CS only drag race day

 

[Chris205]

We should have a CS only drag race day

in fairness most slightly breathes 1*2's are s**t on the strip

they're probably get owned by most 106 gti's/saxo vts's

 

[Mike_182]

I don't know anyone daft enough to take a Vee on a drag strip. No point, not where it belongs etc.

However on the road having driven a healthy 182 and Trophy I'd say destroy was a fair description. Speeds coming out of corners are more into epic than fast...

 

[sideways danny]

Right, well i don't see a s/c 172 doing 12's...

Spec C @ 340bhp only does 12.4.

coops turbo valver (260ish give or take) did 12.83, dan.wil did 12.87, redrocket did 12.92. All 1.8 turbos, redrockets having a smaller turbo

 

[Ian_182]

Either way the sc 172 will win.End of...

:lolup: yeah mate you must own a clio 1.2 sport lol

It's a car and it moves in a forward motion - what's the problem?

Where does the Vee belong? A showroom is my guess!

 

[Dash]

I so often question why anyone feels the need to go a split second faster than another car. Lacking something maybe?

These cars also move in a reverse direction. A 'race' in reverse would at least be interesting, and perhaps more fun.

 

[Cooksport]

Why does it matter what is faster?

Just shut up and drive!

 

[Chris205]

:lolup: yeah mate you must own a clio 1.2 sport lol

yea mate mines a ph1 172 replica 1.2 i have to admit :rasp:

seriously, gti's and vts's are really good off the line, much better geared 1st 2nd and 3rd, by which time the quarter mile will be over and the 172's will be finding it hard to keep up

before any of your other funny comments i do own a ph1 172 and have previously owned slightly breathed on gti and vts and both have been very quick cars, certainly better than the 172 and others off the line
