Please help settle an argument.
What would be quicker in a straight line to say 100, A healthy well looked after redtop corsa or a clio sport 182?
Thanks.

If you have been in both that a pretty valid opinion thanks.

I'd say the Clio felt faster, it's probably lighter and has more power plus it's newer so shouldn't have lost so much power as the redtop

Use this to compare it with a 2.0 Corsa.

I used to race my mates 182 clio and it just pulled slightly everytime.
But also you have to take into account mods... Mine had a pwerflow zorst, bmc air filter and ecotec pipe so was running around 300bhp.

Not really sure tbh, I've been in cliosports but never experienced the power of an xe so I'd put my money on the 182 though
