The RS didn't exactly romp away down the straights though did it?

Think it'll still make a better overtaker than the Clio. Using it's Torque better to overtake, while the Clio will be thrashing it to get past.

But if I was an FRS owner and a Clio 200 came up behind me on a back road, I'd be pretty gutted he could keep up with me.

i think only people who have owned clios understand how quick they are. most people just slate them as french crap. but if you took one and put a honda badge or a ford badge on them they would instantly be the best hatch to buy. wierd the power of a front badge can do

the clio is a lightweight small racer and no doubt very good at what it does
the RS is a heavyweight compared, diffrent types of car imo
