lol the 106 is a corker but dont make such statements:
"the 106 can get round a track quicker than those other cars simple as that"
It got round that track quicker on that day. I have seen the Focus RS beat cars in one mag only to get beaten in another.
BTW I had an Evo a few years back where the VTS was quicker than all opposition including the 106 Gti, cant remember if the 172 was in that test.
I haven driven a 172 but would assume its faster than my Williams but every williams & 172 seem to have different power so its a pointless argument.
