I think the 200 looks delicious. Especially the back.

Oh, so I’m not getting kicked off?

I think I’ll give that place a miss!

I was told a 197 top speed is 134 for the 200 is 141… but it’s still 197bhp - more tuned?

Does that mean I get kicked off here???

Ok… so what am I driving?

Is there a straight line drag racing bit there like Santa Pod or is it just a track to race around?

Mine sounds more like the 200! I’m so confused! When I entered the other car’s reg into the motor app it said 197 but mine says Clio Renaultsport… plus I was told 197s were up to 2009 and mine is a 2010? So I have a 200???

Does anyone here go there? By the way, I saw a 2007 197RS last night but it had quite small exhausts pointing downwards whereas mine has a sort of cover with chrome pipes - I guess this is just something Renault added to later models?

I never take my Clio past 6500 anyway. Red lining is never the optimum way to get peak performance but I’m sure you guys here all know that anyway. What’s the best place to take it near London? I’ve only been to Santa Pod which is much too far and that was in 2006!

Just one point about that… I don’t remember what it was revving at in those days at 70mph because I was a lot better off… but the car red lined at 8000 and VTEC didn’t kick in until 6000 so 3500 wasn’t really high revs for that car anyway. It was good on fuel if you didn’t go to 6000 revs -...

I agree and a Honda Civic type R of any age or model cannot belittle a Clio 197RS since they handle like an empty carrier bag in a hurricane and the Clio holds the road amazingly for a FWD car. The only Honda I’ve ever really loved is the S2000 - even today it looks awesome (in a decent...

I don’t even remember that, that was in 2012 when fuel was half the price! Best car I ever had.

I’m glad. I just find a 6 gear car doing 3500rpm at 70 in 6th offensive - and so does my wallet! I mean the top speed is only 134! Makes zero sense! But anyway, it is what it is. I thought my car might be faulty or modified in a way that may cause that but obviously not. The previous owner...

Sorry if I offended you. Maybe get some counselling?
