Hi guys,

Just bought my Clio 182 to be told by my mates that their cars would spank it...

Do you agree? Refuse to race for obvious reasons!

Mine: Clio 182 with powertec induction kit

Theirs:

Seat Leon Cupra T (185 bhp)

Pug 206 Gti GT with ram air kit and cat back system

Help settle this debate !!
 
Round a track I'd have my money on the clio. In a straight line it might be close but the clio will be faster stock.

1/4 mile - clio
 
The only thing either of those cars could 'spank' your Clio in is comfort on a long journey or possibly reliability.

The 206, particularly, wouldn't even know which way you'd gone.
 
Cup packages fitted to your clio?

I have to agree with freefaller on the Clio being faster round the track, 1/4 mile will be very very close but with the Clio being lighter it may 'Just' win.

The 206, particularly, wouldn't even know which way you'd gone.

Depends if its the GTI 180 or not.

He has already told us its a GT - the homologation model produced in 1999 by Peugeot for their 206 WRC. It's a regular 206 GTi, circa 130bhp, with larger bumpers.

Its a 206 Gti GT (big bumper special edition). I have both cup packs fitted to the Clio

**Edit - beaten to a response on the GT**
 
Ahh, Didn't know they produced an even more worthless version of the GTI, Well its settled on both counts then, you will deffo beat them both round a track no issue and with the 206 only having 130Bhp like fox said it will be left for dead.
 
Even if a 206 was faster it would be irrelevant as they are a nasty nasty car.

So the competition is between the clio and seat.
 
Surely the 206 isn't that bad ? Not driven it, but seems ok from a passenger perspective. Reckon it'd out handle the Seat too??
 
yea the 206 wouldnt see it, beiong like 5 seconds down on the 0-100 sprint.

the 206 GTI 180 would be a different kettle of fish though as it would only be half a sec down,a nd if it had ram air would probably beat or equal the 182 to 100...
 
The other 2 are lardy cars. The Clio is definitely more the go-kart which is therefore, going to be superior in terms of performance, but not necessarily in terms of comfort.

Must admit the driving position in the Clio is a little bit carp... The seat is better made. 206 is comparable or worse on comfort though, in my opinion
