of course, the effect of the atb with more power will be even stronger...
but there is also a matter how and where you drive your clio197...
on tracks with tighter curves / mountain roads / wet weather conditions,
so everywhere you can get slip when accelerating, it's an advantageous.
it's like extra power, otherwise you lose, so you can run faster on the road.
tuning the clio197 engine is more complicated and expensive...
