is that from experience disturbed? or from reading websites? because I have witnessed first hand a 172 cup beating a ctr in a straight line, and on youtube there is a video of a 172 killing a ctr.

Unfortunately I can't afford a new one

I'll have about 4.5k though, so I'll get a decent one hopefully.

Yeah, can't insure/afford to run one though I'm 20 with 1 years NCB, the Clio is about the best car I can insure at the moment, which is fine by me

wouldnt say very quick, but beat the type-r and the 172 "seems" a lot easier to pull away from, however that could be down to the sort of people that drive them?

thats what I'm saying mate. It may be down to different drivers. CTR's have more power, but less torque. All the vids I've watched (and my mate in a 172 cup against a CTR) have resulted in the clio winning

I did have, a year ago, since then though, I've had a Nova 1.3SR, Corsa 1.4 SRi, Corsa C 1.4 and a Mini turbo (which never ran)

This is why I dislike the Corsa C, as I miss being able to overtake.
