Right, I couldn't care if anyone here believes me or not but i have to tell you about the best race i've had in my clio so far.
In our group one lad called jaz has an Evo8 mr fq320, we were both finally out last night in the cars together and the baiting began, heard the usual french crap remarks and do you want me to push it banter bus crap.
But then jaz and me decided we'd finally race after all the talk and i was so impressed with my car.
Last week i raced a Series 2 Lotus Elise and pushed him aside through 1st 2nd and 3rd so i was unsure how it would go against the evo.
We pulled round a roundabout onto the duelcarriageway at speed, (towards med tunnel, jay s has been through it)
1st and 2nd i pulled 2 Lengths
Then stayed even through 3rd upto 4th, then he started creeping up behind me, but by this time we were through the tunnel and stopped at the other end!!!!
The same thing happened back through the other way except when he was creeping i had a car in front and breaked to let him pass me.
My other friends who were with us knew id pull on him through the low gears, any longer he'd have gone flying ahead but needless to say we was all well impressed with my ickle clio.
Seems the valver manifolds low down power helps against these big cars, in short enough bursts it seems it helps me pull and appear like a win without getting into too high speed figures!
Anyway i thought id share my experience, i know some will sprout bulls**t, but those who know me and have met me know i would not bulls**t.
