Had a do against a couple in my time and they always seem to get the better of me by gettin on the power faster.

On my way to meeting GazTwo and Jesus yesterday I had a do with one on the A627M.

From the lights he took the bend faster than me and took about a car length.

But after that he was just not pullin away, we stuck together with that 1 car length up to about 110.

On hitting the roundabout at Rochdale/M62, I jumped on his bumper round the roundabout and headed towards Oldham, continuing on the A627. I pushed the car really hard an hit the limiter in 3rd and 4th :oops: but again he was not gettin away.

He pulled over an flashed me just before I had to pull over to come off.

I'm not the best driver in the world, an if I'd have gone round the first bend a bit quicker I dont think he would have pulled that car length on me.

Just wondered how other people have got on against em??

my Williams only ever raced them with breathing mods and cams and used to ****ing pan them. I remember coming back from Donny with 2 live driving it and we came accross a Clio Sporter, so it was rude not to engage.... completely left it for dead and even went as far as letting him use 3rd gear while we were in 4th... we still pulled away after a second or two and quite easily lol

Similar power but yours is maybe 80kg's lighter....should have pulled on it really.

They aren't any faster than a williams/hybrid, extra power is cancelled out by the extra weight!! Is proven on trackdays, the 182 is only faster when its damp and then not by much and is down more to electronics, even when the girly electronics are switched off there is still an element of "help" there.

they are about the same in performance but it is good for us 182 owners to be able to be nice and cool while we race, what do you say Atego :wink:
