About £500 cheaper, 100kg lighter, sounds nicer and the open road fuel consumption isn't that different. They use a lot more juice around town though. |

335i on RFT, damp/ wet conditions then even an R32 would leave it by half a car's length...and especially if the driver didn't turn off the DTC/DSC....
however, dry conditions...well the 335 will buttfcuk VXR ....never driven one of those but the voice in my head tells me not to be scared of them... |

Have I mentioned the trip to the supermarket where I did the grocery shopping and bought, among other things, a watermelon.
The grocery shopping escaped my mind on the way home and I gave it a bit of stick around the corners. When I got home, I spent about 1/2 hour cleaning bits of mashed up watermelon out of the boot. |

On the chav thing - had some semi chav bleating on about a remapped Octavia vRS being quicker than a 335d. Despite my many FACTS (I don't know why I bothered) he still wasn't having any of it and posted up some vid of a remapped GTi "beating" a 335d (which was driven by a complete muppet) to "prove" his point. He also told me that for most cars, the 30-90 time is around the same claiming his mate's 996TT couldn't outdrag a B5 (standard) S4 from 30-90. Sometimes it's just not worth bothering. For some bizarre reason though, I can't help it! Why let facts get in the way anyway huh?! |

Slight wee issue - my wife is being induced on Friday so we should have a baby (no2) by Saturday!!
I'll PM my number - maybe whizz me a text in case I'm around! Down again soon? ztlm - I know, I know. 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 miles times, lap times, etc did nothing to convince this wee chavlet. There is no hope sometimes. |

I don't want to fall into bench-racer arguments about cars i've never driven but I agree with the comments about the other person maybe not realise he was racing or if he did he may still not be giving it 100%.

Oh FAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
He was racing, he initiated it, he looked at me and revved ffs. Like a bald revver. Bald and grinning. THE bald grinner. Im a pretty level headed chappy, in fact......i think i drive downright civilized in my wee Clit. But when given a wee taunt like that in a relatively safe environment, why the fack not eh? So he did TRY and give it the beans, obviously couldnt..... BUT IT WAS FUN FACKING FUN. AND I ENJOYED THE SOUND OF HIS CAR. THE SOUND THE FACKING SOUND! And no offense, buuuuuuuut.........quite possibly on a dry B road, the 335 would need to be doing some magic moves to do anything about the Clio. That discussion is for a whole 'nother day though.

Yeah I believe he was racing you, I also believe his car probably only acceleratd this particular day 0-60mph in 7.5-8 secs!!!!! Due to traction issues and T/C cutting in monstrously. Thats why you nailed him.

Dont you start DX or ill kipper you! I didnt nail him mate, it was even stevens hence i got the audio. 7.5-8? Come on mate, give me some credit ffs. And a B road isnt a track bud, maybe it is on the mainland. I know our B roads in NI and our E91 is a shambles on them compared to Bonk (yes, i call it that). Unless other E variants are MASSIVELY different? Refined, BMW?, yes.....on an infinite level.........able to handle a dirty, shit, camber bucked road at 100%.....no. No way Clio. Absolutely. Full on. |

LOL Ok then, the Ring is more like a b-road. Clio's get spanked.

Evo tested a 182 Trophy against an M6 on very twisty back roads a while back. While the M6 was clearly a quicker car overall, it was surprisingly close.
Decent little hot hatches are nippy in their element. |

I do mate, it may be harsh and rattles like a piggy bank but is blessed with the traction of Thor....courtesy of Michelin.
So it did its 0-60 today no differently than it does it on a hot day traction wise, which i suppose is testament to the E91's traction control too..... Hey, im not willy waving Carlos.....it was just an observation. And i know the ring is like glass to the roads im talking about, obviously thats no contest at all. J |
