17poo faster than a Willy?

[105epwr]

ive raced a std 17 2 in my valver up to 100mph i could just stay with it,mines chipped,de-cat and a s/s i think the 17 2 must of been std as i could smell his cat must admit was giving mine deff!! i did manage to get past him tho as he started braking for the roundabout and i didnt my back end went abit light as i was very hard on the anchors then we both went differnt way....

well we'll find out Saturday I guess... 2 live will probably put a sneaky chip on anyway... not like he's not done it before ;) lol

i raced a 182 in my stripped out valver to 100mph there was nothing in it at all he had an extra passenger in his.when e stopped at the lights he asked what was in mine and told him it was standard and he couldnt beleive it lol

wow, aint been online for ages but theres still the good old mk1 V mk2 threads! :D

if i raced a willy in a striaght line im cirtain it would pull away up to 4k revs but then i would start pulling back slowly....in the williams i remember having pull right from the off however in the 197 you dont get thrown back in your seat till you hit 4k revs....having said that the 197 pulls like a train from 4k right untill limit....

what are the 17poo & 18poo rev range like???

[richy]

my 182 pulls strong untill 4k ish then theres a big kick as it just pulls like a train right to the limiter, on a bumpy road its a pain as it trys pulling you all over the road lol, but that might be more noticable with 205/45/16 tyres

all the 197s ive driven when i worked for renault felt very simular although it felt more like 5k+ on when you got the kick, but they was brand new so dunno how they are with a few miles on them!

A Williams should certainly be faster than a 197 in a straight line tbh. I borrowed one for the weekend, swapped cars and had a do. My 172 was faster when both setting off in 4th and the gearing is very short . Then tried the 197 against my mates Audi all road
Was even til 4th then it pulled, change to 5th, pulled a fair bit more... changed to 6th... Allroad just became a dot on the horizon lol

After going on a run with the cs boys last night I'd say a totally stnd willy would deffo get eaten up eventually by a 182/172 cup....mine is 100kgs lighter than stnd and was similar in performance to the cups/182 although admittedly they probably were'nt stnd.
