It needs more power an 1500 quid Clio 172 is faster in the straights and corners, it's pointless.

I bloody hate Plato.
But if he says a car is lacking torque and needs more power then i'd tend to trust him. He knows what he's on about tbf.
I think it looks a bit "soft".

If a vauxhall corsa or renault clio can beat you, it definitely needs more.

In the near future you are going to be decimated by an STi version young Ben. You will turn your traction control off and attempt to follow it through some twisties and end up in a ditch.

Whats an sti version got to do with a standard 200bhp one?
Also, I always drive with tc off through the twisties, really enjoy getting a bit of oversteer now and again.

TBH I think you'll be shocked at the amount of grip they generate.
Ben fully off or with DTC on?

Only.recently been doing fully off, wasn't too bad.
I drifted (read oversteered and crapped my pants) an aston v8 vantage on track before, so nothing new to me.
As i've said before though, the front end feels very heavy and getting the back end out actually feels better than trying to turn the front end in. Weird feeling really.

Needs a 100 shot of NOS tbh. That'd put an end to all this fast & the furious 'a corsa/Clio/jazz' would beat it off the lights shit.
