Went in my mate Clio 16v last night, and now my car feels slow :cry: lol. I know they are very quick little cars, and its chipped which meant 0-60 in about 6.5/7 seconds.

What can i do to mine to clear him up lol

Or sell it and buy a Celica ST205, mine does 0-60 in 6 seconds :P

scott matey its all down to driver at the end of the day

At last, someone has said it. Well done!

Yes, XE's can handle, I admit that, but it's all down to the driver at the end of the day.

As for beating this Clio, well, I assume you will want to race him on a track or on a 1/4mile as we don't agree with street racing on here. So fitting an XE will certainly give him a run for his money.

However, the main thing you want to bear in mind is less weight = faster car. Create a car that has a better power-weight ratio than his and you will win.

I wouldn't go for 1/4 mile as id prefer to race round a track, driving straight is easy. Saying all what you have said it is obviously down to the driver and to be honest i dont think he is the best out there lol, a bit jerky on the gears n way too heavy on the brakes right at the last minute. Clio's are quick and rightly so, but one day ill ave him lol

fair play, my problem wasnt with you wanting to beat him in a race my problem is with people saying drop a valver in it and waste him, build one up and kick his arse
