reasonably quick. not fast by any means, they run out of puff after about 75mph.
lego sets are usually better build quality too.

I thought the 172 was rated one of the best track day cars.
I remember Nismo saying he saw them flying round the track at Castle Combe.
I'd definatley have a 172/182
As for build quality, I have just sold my 52 plate dynamique and the build quality on that was good imo

not ina straight line, especially lower down as all the power is up the top end. agree about the handling.

VVTi is responsible for the lack of torque, but its still got well enough

in your opinion. I however drove 600 miles across europe then spent 5 days at the nurburgring, then drove 600 miles back, with a 12 month old clio 182. must be fucked then.
