Surprised by a Clio 197
One of these things really surprised me yesterday.
The thing raced off the line, hammered it around a tight bend and was gone...........................
I was half asleep at the time but hey..........fair play, this thing was quick and handled like it was on rails.

I must admit though, dial the revs round and dump the clutch and it's neck snapping, not much comes close, but as I say, 6am is a touch early for me.

I whooped one so bad in my old 172 he gave up.
IMHO its only the straights they loose out on........
They gain on brakes and handling as std.
But face it most Impreza owners are purely straight line merchants, show them a corner and they'll run a mile

lol at this thread, we owned a 197 last night in a vectra 1.9CDTI and with 4 lads in the car. All four of us are on cliosport and three of them still had clios and i sold mine for a wrx. we owned his **** big time.
This is the same lad who bullied a blobeye sti in his stripped clio 172... and yes the sti was trying lol.
