Help me convince my brother to get a r27 instead of an r26

[mark_1873]

If he's looking to chase numbers I'd go for the Megane or even a Facelift Focus ST (that noise :evil

I think the main difference is the fact that it is only a small turbo so you dont get a huge kick of boost when it spools up, but does spool up very quickly on the meg

I've seen a GW around Blackpool and on the M55 a few times. Do you have very short hair and wear big sunglasses?

Haha fair enough! How many GW R26s are there?

 

[MikeH]

Not got a clue but they were only on the late plate r26 models, 08/58 I think only

My 197 is faster than Mikes Mapped meg, I'd say 10 seconds a lap faster around oulton park, that's with me on flat tyres and blind folded as well so I'd deffo get a Clio if I was him.

Pmsl, thanks for that Stu...

Who knows i may take her there one day

 

[Willis]

Hahahahaha!

"I ain't getting in an R26, Mr T only rides in an R27 fool"

Why is that m8? Meg with a stage 1 is far superior to a 200!:thumbsup:

Mikes Meg is lovely and its a clio for grown ups.

The meg's are great and the R26 is fast but as Litchy said, its kid of a more grown up car. My R27 puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, so much fun!

 

[badbuzz2]

by neither save your moneys and by a 250 :thumbsup:

 

[crossy]

Don't listen our kid, buy a clio and enjoy it for what it is. I live the fact it has to be driven pretty hard to get going. Joe

Think the meg was suffering a common misfire if that was the case m8 if it is a R26 or mike was eating his lunch...lmao:w00t:

Hi all I am the younger brother spoken of in this thread. I do really love the looks of bith the r26 meg and the r27 clio and I am really impressed with my brothers 200 I just think that the meg would be a bit more of a thrill with the extra power and the diff. But as yet I still aint been out in one so if anyone fancies taking me for a passenger ride in theres let me know lol.

The Clio will be more fun. Yes the meg is faster and will lap quicker but when I drove a 250 meg round Silverstone I actually found it boring compared to the high reving screeming Clio. It was quicker but didn't actualy feel that quick.

Pffffff, get a Clio

End!

The Megane is a lovely car, but the BEST pound for pound car on the market is the Clio.

Close Thread.

I'm in the market for a 197 Cup at the minute... Had a 172 Cup years back, S2 mapped Meggy before, 330 Sports etc and now in a 300hp 390lbft Saab!. Coming back to a Clio!

My main issue is self control so i want a slower car! Turbo cars give their performance too easy it's too easy to get into trouble.

 

[boothy]

what about the diff in the R26 surely its got to be worth serious consideration in the debate of things i know someone who owns one and i keep asking him to take me for a spin but as of yet he aint but a couple of people have said there a bit mental.

Oh they grip alright, well from my limited experience in one it certainly cornered well.

Like I said, I came away from the R26 thiking ''I want a Diff'''.

But, I'd still take a Clio over one. It's the NA.
