    To be fair, he got you at 112mph. But with that sort of power/torque difference, I have to agree with you. And there wasn't even any corners yet. Good show

    Nice one

    110ish definitely seems about the speed a Clio runs outta puff compared to more powerful cars. Perhaps that's the speed when power starts counting and weight doesn't...

    I think you would have him at pod, which is good because you can make him look like a tit

    I'd still class that as a victory for the clio personally - christ thats over 100bhp more and still doesn't do anything great!

    He did a count down 3,2,1 go and launched on 1 lol so i ended up pulling away at 1,000rpm plus it was uphill until 80-90 (if you look at the start of the video). He seemed happy, but deep down, you know he was abit upset

    JUST ONE THING!

    GREAT VID BUT HAS ANYONE NOTICED THE CLIO BHP IS AT WHEELS AND THE ASTRA IS AT FLYWHEEL! SO THE ASTRAS BHP WOULD BE LESS IF IT WAS MEASURED AT WHEELS!! THE SAME IF THE CLIO WOULD BE MORE AT FLYWHEEL!! STILL GOOD RACE THO!! :D

    Nice vid fella, good close race thought you'd pull in 1 st and 2nd must have been the poor start.... N/a power!
