What is Faster in Race

[me1_4]

What is Faster in Race a citroen saxo 1.4i westcoast 75bhp or a clio dynamiqe 1.4 98bhp
i heard some one saying that the saxo would win wich i can not see just wanted to know what you think?

thanks

pmsl
If pushed them both off a big enough cliff they would both reach a terminal velocity of 120 mph give or take and hit the ground at roughly the same time, LOL

 

[Chad]

LOL @ Weeman

I'd say there probably about the same weight (Saxo may be a bit lighter) so the clio should have it really.

 

[Dan_mk1]

Does anyone else think racing slow cars is like the disabled olympics? lmao

 

[Toypop]

The Saxo is a lot lighter. I reckon its too close to call to 60 but after that the extra power of the Clio should come through.

Would be a cracking race though - NOT!!!!

Mind you I remember when I had a 1.2 16v and the 1.4 seemed like a supercar!

 

[Chad]

I was gonna say that people will point and laugh but I didn't want to take the piss.

 

[Neil G]

lol @ Weeman

 

[me1_4]

lol, i think the clio is 1000kg
and the saxo is 840kg

 

[JJ!]

I have never watched milk float racing before... must be an exciting and thrilling event.... much like watching a westcoat vs eastcoat dynamic stylee race

 

[me1_4]

on parkers
clio 0-60 = 10.2 s
saxo 0-60 = 10.8 s

so it is close!

 

[Toypop]

Yeah but the Saxo will probably have a K&N plus a big bore exhaust and a max power stick in the window so I reckon it will be running 5.3 secs to 60.

The sticker alone is worth 2 seconds.

lol @ this thread

 

[Middo]

the saxo is an 8v so higher up would not have the same power, therefore i think the clio would win

 

[Weeman]

someone check the book figures on my Mazda 3 1,4, see if i'm in with a shout here. lol

 

[me1_4]

what model is it

 

[Weeman]

ermmm new shape mazda, bog standard 1.4 5 door as far as i know. 84 hp.

 

[_Kenny_]

My bets are on the Clio weeman!

 

[Chad]

1200 KG + 84BHP = slow. 14 secs to 60 apparently.

 

[me1_4]

there are some figures on this site
http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/specs/derivative.aspx?manu=&model_id=1180

the clio would win!

 

[Bluebeard]

Who gives a fcuk??! If its saxo west coast's and clio 1.4's, the chances are their racing up and down the high street anyway the retarded little chavs.

 

[Tyson-182]

Who said it was a 0-60 race? He might mean from 30-70 or 110 to 140!! :clown:

Tyson.

Why do folk have to take the p*ss when we're not an about an RS?!?

Who mentioned the Focus? haha :clown:

I think it's because the topic surrounds the idea of a race between two cars that are clearly not designed to be driven agressively in a race environment, it creates a humourous image in many people's minds and hints at some possible chav-ness...

Can I enter my Dad's ride-on 'mower in this drag?

 

[Middo]

^ any engined car can be raced, look at fred for example. Its all in the skill of the driver, which some rs drivers prob have very little of...

Yep agree, anything can be raced!

I'm sure RS drivers on here think they are better drivers just because they have a bigger engine in their cars!

 

[sh33n]

I knew someone would catch me out sooner or later, lol

 

[Middo]

lol! I'm talking about the knobs who think just because they have a fast car they can 'race'. Us non rs drivers make up for lack of speed with skill and stupidity

If we we're on about a Nova 1.2 Merit with a DTM spoiler and a Saxo 1.1 with a 17 tonne bodykit I could understand.

Tyson.

The Title question is 'whats faster in a race' not 'which car is quicker'.
If you ask a question 'what is faster in a race?' then surely you are implying that you race??!!

 

[al]

Used to get piss taken out of my old R5, yes it only had 72bhp but also it only weighed 750kgs.

That was a mixture of skill and 195 tyres! lol

Never been on a track day?

 

[Bluebeard]

[al]

There you go then, that'll be where they're racing, either that or a "private runway" erghmm

Yes. Of course they are.... And my dad's jennifer ellison.
