The 200 woops ass!!

[Šįk]

In the evo mag! 0-60 in 6.6 and 0-100 in 16.7!! And knocks 2.2seconds off it's brothers time (trophy and 197) and is nearly 2mph faster peak wise at 98mph!

only 3 seconds behind the r26.r!! And only 2 seconds off the new FRS!!

As quick as astra vxr/focus st/mk4 r32/megane r26 and many others in straight line and would woop most of there ass's easy on the tracks!

I think I'm in love!

 

[fUbAr]

it looks like an arse too.

 

[Greeny.]

Black 200 with the silver insert sprayed black + on the deck = win. And yeh, they are meant to drive a whole lot better than the 197's

 

[Scrooge]

O

it looks like an arse too.

Yep fugly

 

[Budgie]

How does it 'woop' arse, if it's not as fast as the others you've mentioned?

 

[Fletcher]

I read this in evo too, looking forward to a test drive in one.

 

[Sargara]

I dont really care how it performs. Id say the vast majority of 200 owners arent buying them to race on tracks so performance comparisons dont really matter at this moment seeing how track projects are mainly 172s.

So with that in mind id say the main concern is how it looks which is basically shite.

Always has to be an orquad one... As in those hatches above it's as equal as the "bigger n faster" of the fast hatch group so really yess it woops ass in it's own small hatch class and is now up there with the bigger boys also faster on the track that Most of them!

I must disagree! It looks beautiful!

Apologies if this has been posted up before - I'm sure it must have

 

[kevo66]

Dont like the looks and mines quicker!

DO like Alien Green!

 

[Needster]

I love the 200, and as with any RS it'll only get better with the more miles it gets on it. But I can't write much more on this forum how much I rate it.

We're always going to have people who dislike it, as with the 197 when it came out.

/cue "looks like a frog" comments.

Keep up!

Ps, the FRS is slower than a 172, so hardly newsworthy

Looks like a frog tbh....

Lolzer - i like the 200, i really do - at least Renault are moving things forward with every model. Look at people like Honda - are they really progressing things?

Frogs are the future.

Anyway it's a French car so I will look like a frog!

BA DA DUM TISSSHH!

Hmmm I wonder y yours is faster... Lol

And tbh I think AG looks w**k.. Néed to see it in the flesh yet but I still think LY is the bestest ever! Lol.

So, how is it quicker with fractionally more power? I thought gearing was longer as well... so i don't get it.

They've made the power lower down through 1st, 2nd and 3rd, apparently. So should be nippier than the 197s.

Better torque spread, 1st 3 gears are shorter, last 3 are longer IIRC. Throught the final 2 corners at Bedford, apex speed 10mph greater in the 200.

Girls should not try and discuss teh oily bits tbh:nono:

 

[Needster]

And why not, Warren?

 

[Šįk]

Yep.. 20% more torque aswell a slightly better chassis including the 36kg weight reduction..

 

[Englebert]

Why thanks geeks!

20% torque seems a bit much though?

 

[ForceIndia]

Pretty sure it's not 20%, it's 20%ish low down.

Sorry, Warren.

Sorry, Warren.

It's okay, you dear sweet, fragile little thing. I adore you.

Ugly. The designer has come out and admitted he was drunk.

It would appear I married the wrong girl.

Ugly. The designer has come out and admitted he was scottish.

EFA

 

[Tucker]

I think i'd buy one even though the front end staples my semi back down to the leg.

imagine when the engine gets some miles under it!

 

[Steve]

It's only stiffer than the now softer 200 FF.
Same with the weight.
Reworked head & map give the 3 bhp.

How about this for a lap in the 'WET'; http://www.fastestlaps.com/track49.html

 

[ForceIndia]

The cups stiffer than the 197 cup(15%), the standard 200 is softer than the standard 197. Also a quicker rack. Pretty much addressed everything (on paper) I didn't like about the 197. Can't wait to have a drive.

 

[Needster]

"FF" 200 with Cup Chassis. Done.

Indeed. One of the bets things about the 197 was the driving position, wheel nice and close.

 

[Peperami]

I love it, and i love the looks.

 

[Naith]

197 with remap and ugly front end?

/flames

its decent

 

[gaz44]

Sounds like a good car but looks terrible. Therefore - no thanks!

 

[mbarnes]

tis a great performing car, if only they could do a patch for the 197 to get it the same low down torque

 

[Gorms]

Its also wider than the 197
