duno if anyones got the new clarkson DVD, its pretty good, there's a section in it featuring a 172 goin round a track on diferent tyres, and it sounds wicked! and goes realy well to, and i saw one 2day with sum bloke canning it cuming onto a long duel carriage way and it was realy rapid! funny thing is i never realy payed much attention to them, but now ive completely changed my view of them!! anyone bin in one, had one ?? are they as good as they look and sound?? with a bit of tuning u could get a over 200bhp surely... :twisted:

there ok but power/weight ratio doesnt compare to the 2l 16v nova!
raced one myself around town and i kept up with it easy, i wouldnt expect it to be the same at higher speeds mind!

ive had a play with a 172, they have a higher top end speed (this was on a private road/test track :roll: )

A Clio Cup kicks a 172 ass round a race track. Lighter and better setup
