RE: Renault Clio V6

[clio 197]

hi just been reading a few comments and agree the v6 is a nice motor and you hardly see them but for 20 grand plus its expensive if u like classics why not a sierra rs500 mk1 essy or a mk2 essy converted to cossie power plus change then u have a pure classic

Not done too many miles yet, on the limit handling is reported to be edgy but mine is fitted with KW- Coilovers and is polybushed.Feels like it's on rails although it's a bit bumpy, as it's only a 'hobby' car i can live with that.The engine feels very torquey and free revving with excellent bottom end grunt.Tends to be a bit of an eye catcher on the road, can't think why?

Is this correct?
0-60 in 6,2 s
top speed 160 mph
1/4 mile in 11.4 s

Amazing that Jap hot hatches do not convert to rwd . . . R32 did the right thing awd. Awesome car this Clio.

For a car that weight, you'd need at least 400bhp to run those quarter times. The 0-60 looks to be in the right ball park though

The 0-60 time looks a little slow for a car that runs 11.4's.??

Hmm thats what i thought,,maybe a 13.4,,unless some of the bodykit fell off half way down.

13.4 as quick as that??

I'd have thought more like 15.4 sec if the 0-60mph time is anything to go by.

Not too fussed at the 0-60 times, i've got my bike for that!
I'm wondering who Kriss is? Plate has been on since 2006.

[Jonny671]
