Renault Sport Clio 197 Racing Red

What about the handling of the S2000 if you compare it to 197? In what area is 197 better than Honda? I was also looking for good second hand S2000 when I was buying a new car, but at the end I decided that 197 would be a lot more practical in everyday use.

TBH, I don't know because I got the S2000 in 2-3 drifts - the owner got a bit scared. :biggrin:

If you have asked me what car would I buy a couple days before I would have said - S2000, even after I've tried it out - but after this shootout - no way.


He can be the worst driver in the world but the fact stays that this is not a STOCK S2000 - it has performance mods...it should go atleast as fast as does the stock one in the hands of the pro. I guess...
 
i have now gone thru this thread from page one to the last page... looked at every pic and video...

Dude... I love your car :thumbup1:
the coils, the race tales... just everything! keep it up!!! :wink:

I wasn't that easy to do because that 3M vinyl is pretty thick and hard to model - had to use an industrial blow-dryer.

A friend of mine did all the work at his garage. I got the vinyl's from him (it's the most expensive vinyl that he's got).

I lost 35min just trying to get my HU back into the position (have a lot of cables in the back) - and don't even ask me how many nerves I've lost and cuts I got on my hands.

But, it was really worth it - like I said - it looks at least 2x better in real life.
 
Today was interesting also, wish we had a fourth car to film the race: BMW E38 540 4.4 vs BMW E39 740 4.4 vs Clio 197

I have them 0-190km/h, and then they pass me...:thumbup:

I have a 2 year old summer tyres with 30 000km and no more threads...:lol:

But non the less, some friends wanted a rematch (A8 on 17" winter tyres, before on 20", BMW E39 740i on 17" winter tyres too)...the results were the same as before. :tongueout:

Questionable efforts in street racing aside (imho everyone taking part in such act, should get his car scraped)

Doesn´t look too bad for the Clio :smile:
 
Dont the police give you problems over there with the racing you do? over here we wouldnt be able to get away with it??
