A kind offer and one I would take up. Sounds to me like the meg 250 / 265 might be the better car for you - far quicker in a straight line and still good in the twisty bits

The clios aren't focused on straight line speed / traffic light GP.

More track focused, amazing chassis, handling and brakes. On a track its not just raw straight line speed that will make you lap faster. With this focus its a great car and for many, amazing fun to drive. For example, last year at Bedford some of the guys were lapping faster than 300+ BHh TTRS's

And not just by a small margin. I had 2 seconds on that tt-rs and noddie hammered it by 4 seconds

I think it also had rs6 ceramic brakes too

The Clio is amazing on track.

Going fast in a straight line is for pussys

Just Meg it.

Straight line speed...awesome.

Corner speed....awesome.

Overall car....awesome.

Always ends well...

First question; why did you buy it? Surely the test drive you'd have felt it's not quick enough for you?

 

[nutnutwelshman]

Hello Kenny how's things fella car going goooooooooooood I hope

 

[nutnutwelshman]

I think you buy it but never drive it by the scruff of the neck Blacks & Brecon's would help a lot

If everything is beating you, maybe your car needs a look over.

 

[GW200Jay]

Is that a dig?

You put straight line speed is for pussies yet it just happens that the new 200edc is a fair bit faster in a straight line than the outgoing 200...

It's my car - i'm enititled to an opinion. Yes I bought it and was happy with the test drive but the straight line speed (or lack of) is becoming boring.

:001_huh::001_huh: a look over? everything is fine with it apart from the new gearbox it had last week !

 

[Ashton]

Yes I did. What's your point?

Just cause the new car is faster in a straight line that my old one doesn't mean I go out to try and have willy waving contests with other cars

Yes you got spanked by a passat and a Mg....get over it

Go do a few track days and enjoy the car for what it was designed for

 

[Gez]

Then drive it harder into and out of the bends

mine is the same pace as any normal Astra vxr, focus St until 90 so I don't see how your getting blasted by everything more than a generator. Maybe book it in for a health check

 

[GW200Jay]

Or, alternatively buy a car that does a job on the road too, ey. Seems a lot of money to spend on something that only 'works' on a track a few days a year.

If I wanted a track focused car, I'd buy a Lotus Exige.

I mean if you don't think it's as fast as it should be. I actually don't think they do to bad in a straight line and I've had it up against some fast cars.

I'm jealous of your new gearbox though. I could do with one of those.
