Clio TT

[2 live]

It might just be me (being arkward as usual) but i just cant see the point in it. It doesnt make sense. Firstly, you will argue that its a fast car and ideal for 1/4 miling. But if the guy wanted to 1/4 mile why not get a RWD car and put a decent engine in that?

Secondly, i just diont get this sleeper thing. If i was driving in my Porsche and he flew past me (which he wouldnt as it wont be quick enough to) but say he did, then id be like thinking....yeah and...? And thats assuming that i even notice him.

To me this falls into the same category as 2 ltr Novas and turbo Corsas. I just dont get it. I dont see the attraction of doing 200 mph in a turd.

Personally i have alot of respect for people who earn enough money to drive fast cars. I dont see a need to 'prove a point' in a jet fighter powered sleeper.

Like Arnold said 'when the physique reaches a certain level, yo begin to feel there is no need to remind everyone all the time about how great it is. Its like the guy driving a Ferrari on the freeway. He feels no need to race, because he knows the power is there and if he steps on the gas hes gone'.

Personally i think 10% of people race cars because they enjoy it. 90% do it to prove a point about their 'suposed lack of insecurity'.

so why do u drive a williams?? dont forget this is renos way of doing the exact same thing as matt.........makin a car go faster for competition

Not everyone buys a car to drive fast. I bought it as it is rare. I dont like things other people have. Dont get me wrong i enjoy driving through sweeping corners swiftly, but drag racing does nothing for me. Any fool can press an accelerator.

I have nothing against people who do it, but i just dont get it. This whole sleeper thing. I can see it would be funny once or twice, but after that it would dawn on me i am driving round in a fast turd.

lol..in that first sentance uv just answered the reason people do this......its summat no1 else has.in matts case.its even rarer than the willys..theres only 1 tt clio afaik......so how rares that??

if drag racing was as simple as pressing the accelerator, evryone would be doing the same times in the same cars....and theres a big difrence.sometimes between the drivers ability, sometimes between the cars performance.at the end of the day tho.drag racing is to beat ur own personal best time, if u beat other people in the process ...then thats just a bonus innit lol



but the sleeper thing.....thats the difrence between the modifier, and the enthusiast....the modifier is always lookin for ways to improve things.....the enthusiast is always striving for tat factory fit dealer sticker etc......horses for courses

Exactly. As i say absolutely nothing wrong with it, and i enjoy reading about 1.2 shod cars beating Evos. But from my point of view its not something i would want to do. I have enough trouble with the engine Renault intended for my car, last thing i need is an Audi lump in there.

As you say i would 'calssify' myself more of an Enthusiast. Id get more pride from driving a spotless Williams, than a fast one. I know some are 50 / 50 and maybe you are at the other end of the spectrum and like your speed more.

id say im somewhere in the middle tbh......i dont care that much about speed that i would ruin the willys character...if i thort only of speed mine would have been runnin a meg 225 turbo lump for the last 12 months....but cutting the shell for difrent engine mounts is something im not prepared to do to the willy.even if it would be faster

I have a spare valver for that! :D

What about a gas turbine engine. In an M1 A1 US battle tank the two gas turbine engines are good for 70 mph!!!!!

What about two 1000cc motorbike engines in a williams? The Ductati engine on their top bike is good for 134 BHP apparently.
