I'm not sure how owning X car means you are automatically a good driver

thats what i dont get. Theres plenty of people i know that have bought big powerd cars and they cant drive, just got the money to buy, and run one.
You said your friend is a good driver, and you stayed with his 172 on corners and on straights in your corsa.....well, im guessing your the better driver.

But he didnt stay with it. He outpaced and outhandled it.

Should everyone who owns a Ferrari be a racing driver?
What about Veyron owners, should they be fighter pilots?

Under what basis is he a good driver, does he compete?

172/182 clios aint really that quick tbh, I humped many in my old XE gsi its the corners that fucked me up lol, I suppose a well sorted suspension corsa would have one just as easily.

The 182 was a close mates and the other 2 172's (1 was a cup) were also good mates. They handled superbly tho.

again, comparing a corsa with suspension, to a standard clio. If you spent that money on a clio, the corsa would be no where in sight again

OK here is the 182 in question against my old 106 gti at crail, his had the enclosed carbon induction kit and a catback exhaust, mine had the same as well as the 4-2-1 manifold. Its not as clear cut as you think

yes they are more upgraded from factory if your talking about the cup, but you still can upgrade the suspension to make them handle better.

A clio straight out of the showroom is standard, not uprated, uprated from factory is laughable.

i remember before i got the corrado, someone was telling me to do an advanced driving course if i was going from a corsa to the corrado
as if it was too much power to be able to drive normally

Surely if it is the 'hot hatch' that everyone has described them as they wont just be on a bog standard 1.1/1.2 set up???

of course theyre not. But theyre not bilsteins or anything. Thats like saying a corsa gsi has upgraded suspension as standard.
