but the Wind has a better airshape. The Twingo has the aerdynamic from a lunchbox, lol :p

You think? And at what point over the 1/4 mile (roughly 400m to you) do you think that the cars will reach a speed where aerodynamics take effect?

1/4 mile in the Wind 133 is 16.7s and the Twingo RS is 16.3s Wind TCE is 17.2s and the Twingo iMusic is 2 singles or an EP. ;)
I was joking about the shape :lol:

but I reckon I can beat 17.2s :D
 
I found a nice straight bit of b road which is 1/4 mile long near me. But heads right into a village.

I wouldn't dream of getting it past 60 along this though. However at other end of it there's almost 1/4 of straight private road your allowed to drive down :D but it's for farming so it's full of pot holes :/
 
Credit to the 100 driver as there's more of an art to getting the extra pace from the TCE compared to the 133. 1st gear is so short you'd have to be lightening quick getting into 2nd and back on the boost.

Personally I'm surprised the 133 didn't pull more of a lead initially. I can't help looking at that and wondering if the 133 driver was really that good at changing gear when was optimum?? The reason I say that is that having driven my mum's TCE Gordini back to back with either of our 133s, the RS has a lot more grunt but you have to rev it high to get that peak performance.

As for the 133 vs Wind, the Wind is 100kg heavier so there will be a difference. It won't be vast and the Wind sounds like a great handling car but it does have the extra weight to carry around.
