I've had a little play with a CTR, only along a shortish straight bit of road. The road goes from a single lane to a two lane for a short stretch. I was about to pull out to overtake the stragglers and this CTR comes past me, thought it was a bit rude so booted it and stuck to his tail upto the speed limit, really nothing in it.
More of a suprise to me was the Scooby WRX that done the same thing to me i was very suprised when i had to back off on the way to the speed limit. Yes they we're both trying btw. I'd just like to add i very rarely do this sort of thing, they we're both in a moment of annoyance.

yeah there really isnt much in it, me and ad (biffons bridge) were neck and neck to legal limits.

When We had a play on private land, it was a different matter at 90+

I have been on a track against a couple of CTRs and thrashed both of them in my FF182. Between 0 and 80/90mph ish they are very similar, a lot depends on reactions. Admittedly, over these speeds the CTR will pull away marginally. Also mid-range acceleration is very similar due to the greater torque of the 182.

Overall I think there is nothing really between them, but on a track the 182 should win most times with a decent driver.

Interesting as I think the CTR has a better time on the Fifth gear track, but i maybe wrong.

Trackdays are difficult to judge as driver expierence etc plays abig part, although granted i would expect the clio to have the edge handling wise.

I have driven a CTR and i thought it was about the same as the clio, the only difference was i did not roll about in the seat in the CTR on the bends.

Yeah your right it does go down to driver experience/ability. If I remember the CTR has a better time by about 0.2s but Tiff Needell buggered up the last corner!
