Fair comment but the same could be said of a valverOk, proper as in a fast one, not, by the sounds of it a slow one
Valvers are faster end of rant... if they arent then why did renault even bother manufacturing them
What makes the one I encountered a slow one, I like to think that maybe my valvers a fast one
If anyone wants to strip their car and have a go at being faster at the next track day go for it.
In a straight line they are faster, i'll admit that, but round a track RSi is faster, you all know as well as i do that you have all the valver's power in the last 2k of the rev range, on the RSi you have full torque from 2.5k upwards, ie pulling faster out of corners, faster intial speed downt eh straights, can overtake
....plus they are about 30kgs lighter as std
Two words.......Bring it!Originally Posted by Andyvalver
If a valver ever drops below 4k when being driven hard then its not being driven hard enough imo
Obvously never done a track day then
If you enter a longish corner at 4k, you'll be backing off before you get out of it or hitting the limiter
I've got to say Lunner, that's not really going to be the case, is it?Originally Posted by Lunner
F1 cars, BTCC cars, hell, almost every race car, has stacks of power all stuffed at the top of its rev range. On a track you're always on it, always at the top end of your rev range. If you're in the lower part of your rev range coming out of the corner, you're in the wrong gear. Low down torque is always useful, but it isn't nearly as important as outright power
