Would i regret if ??

[JohnnyE]

I bought a 172 RS instead of buying a 172 cup ,i will be tracking the car 2 or 3 times a year and it will only be getting used weekends

 

[jesus]

Not really, it's the same car isn't it?

 

[mwn11]

Depends if you lock the brakes and go into the wall?

Then youd be kicking yourself you didnt buy the RS...

 

[JohnnyE]

Thought the cup was lighter ...........

 

[JohnnyE]

So dont the cup have abs???

 

[Beef-Mc]

So dont the cup have abs???

Nope.

 

[alanc1000]

No ABS.

personally i prefer the looks of a cup, if you are track daying it you might want to go for the cup TBH

+ Everybody on here knows the only thing to ever overtake a cup is a veyron, but apparently the cup wasnt trying?

 

[sideways danny]

depends if you're going to strip it and change the suspension really. you'll get a normal 172 cheaper and you'll end up with the same thing

 

[JohnnyE]

Not going to strip it for now it will be the brakes and suspension upgrade

no way would a veyron overtake a cup, no way. a 197 would though.

I've used mine on track plenty, and never went for a cup due to lack of abs and ac, which on a hot summers day I like. Even on track lol.

 

[mwn11]

Haha. Although there is a rumor that F1 cars are actually just Cups with body kits.

Makes sense when you think about it...

 

[JohnnyE]

[ForceIndia]

The cups over-priced.

 

[JohnnyE]

He reckons he's already been offered £3.5k and knocked it back:S

Choose the one with the least problems mate, that's one thing you will regret, if you get a problem Clio like I did.

 

[Mr R.]

I would buy the PH1 bid it down to 2k and then what a great all round car you have with some cash in the bank to get the mods.

 

[JohnnyE]

Buying a used car is always a gamble you have to get a decent vib of the seller. The cup i went to look at the other night needed new tyres and exhaust was blowing and the guys brother must of said 4 or 5 times 'there are 2 other people coming to view it the tomorrow'

Spoke to the guy and as he has just spent a lot of money on the belts he wants the money back and not moving on the price:S

that looks so cool, wish id gone for something like that when i got my 182. Ill probably end up with a ph1 next year when i cant afford the insurance on the 182 so will have to buy a 172 and use spare dosh for insurance lol.
