[QUOTE="Martin_172, post: 137669, member: 1528"] On the road a 10bhp per tonne difference will make no difference my 172 was rolling roaded at 190bhp on the same rollers my 200 ran 203bhp there was nothing wrong with the setup but on the road it was no faster, of coursr drag race it would probably pull a cars length on it but nothing that you would feel a difference in driving. The 197/200 is much better geared for acceleration especially a 200, they have more torque all that makes the extra weight not so much of a problem. On the subject of unsprung weight your forgetting those pretty big brembos weigh a quarter of the weight of the 172/182/twingo setup, of course the wheels are a bit heavier though. You just need to look at the lap time differences in the clio cup racecars to see the benefits of the mk3 chassis, same driver and conditions a 172 wont lap the ring the same or faster than a mk3 not a chance [/QUOTE]
