Blimey they are quick. Comin outta southend last night, we pulled up to some traffic lights and one pulls up next to us. Quick glance over, smiled and they revved the engine. Ok, if he insists, he got much better start, seemed to launch so quickly but after that we reeled him back in, and just got passed by the time we hit 60. Now, i know they are damn quick and light, but i expected to get ass raped even though we have more power. Our car is so much heavier but we do have a shit load of torque. This clio deserves respect
anyone have figures to hand as to what they are, 0-60 etc etc

probably would have pissed it up to 100, but to 60 it was close. Too many speed cameras in southend to try that.
