cheeky young ned upstart?? yeh rite, we're back to childish insults again here daimo.
but its like you say, i know nothing of your car fair play, you know nothing of mine, have you ever been out in a clio 16v?
yeh it does handle on 17's, not as well as it would on 15's obviously, but go post on cliosport, 17's is the limit before the drop off point in handling
post your video's daimo, i would like to see your proof

remember u ain't racing the car, u racing the driver, and depending how good the driver is, is gonna decide what happens.
A excellent driver in a corsa could beat some shite driver in a porsche.........
u can't just go on the stats and spec that are written down....

I do not believe that 17's affect handling what so ever!
My SXi handled BETTER on 17's than what it did on 14's.
But I do not want to get involved in this argument.
Goodbye

yeh but generally speaking can a really good driver really peg back a 100bhp+ deficit??
ok so ITR has 30bhp more than daimo, but its one of the best handling FWD cars ever, by the sounds of it yeh it wasnt being driven properly at the wkend against daimo
but with an excellent driver in an ITR and an excellent driver in a corsa 2.0 16v like daimo's then the ITR should come out on top

I have no doubt it would. End of the day, my car is a corsa, with sh1te suspension and a track novice driver.
But on the day, my car seemed to perform better, and i can assure you, the driver wasn't pottering around.
