182 Trophy #274
IT was evo and that is no guide... it was with different drivers in different conditions. Put it this way, they also said the Megane Trophy was quicker, than the clio trophy in terms of lap time, yet the R26 is slower on track than a clio trophy - how does that figure? I know this as I drove both yesterday and I was lapping around a second a lap slower in the Meggy. Same driver, same conditions - its the only way of telling...didn't Top Gear put it round the track and it was slower? Either them or a big magazine did anyway for deffo. Put a stock valver and Williams round a track even both with 1.8 or 2.0 engines and the Williams would pan it based on the far superior setup... having owned and driven both a Williams and Valver the handling while good on the valver isn't in the same league. I think the Trophy is a cool car, but I think people get a little bit excited over what's basically the same as any other 182... in fact cant you get the Trophy seats spec'd into a new 182 at the time?
That's my experience anyway, obviously your second hand account could be more accurate? chance none.
edit: just read the second page and this has already been explained....
