I was just talking to my boss about that. Pointless tests as usual.

It ran a 1.33 something, just a little slower than the R32.

 

[Daipac]

Also, the Carrera GT is missing off the top of the pile ?

Quite Lee.

Here we go: Noble - 1.33.1

No way is the clio 0.7 of a sec slower round the track than the Noble.... madness obviously...

 

[Michael]

[bigmouk]

[Michael]

Golf R32 was 1.33.3

Volvo S60R 1.35.0.

Alfa 147 GTA was slower all on a dry track........So not a bad time at all

Dont worry wait until the excuses start to flow....

I am expecting different stig, track temp, colour of the car and time of year..as the principal excuses...

 

[Chris n nic]

I think the GTA suffered from understeer....suppose thats the problem with all that BHP thru the front wheels....

Damn...

However, the Clio V6 was a wet lap, so why aint that on there?! You sure the CTR was a totally dry lap?!

I still think there is still something wrong with the Civics lap time, if you look at other comparisons between the 172/Cup/182 and the Civic, the lap times are close, with the Civic being quicker in some cases!

They are both great cars, one does certain things better than the other & vice-versa. Loved my Cup, but I love the Civic too.

Youre lucky to have access to both...

Not an excuse, but was the Civic wet or dry??

I know the V6 Clio was in Torential rain cause I have the test on my HDD

[y0z2a]

i have driven 172, 182, and ctr around a track, and the 182 is quicker.

ask tom, he knows how quick i am, and he was able to catch up, granted I wasnt giving it death, but I was pushing it.

What sort of time difference could you expect a standard spec 182 to go round in............
