About 18.5 seconds give or take for the dodgy stop watch.

Yeah thats fair enough like i said it was a few milliseconds out and it was a spare of the moment thing hence why i didn't use decent equiptment, but i still think its pretty good for a 1.6 and the top speed was definately correct. Yeah it sounds fast but 1.6 clios are very fast for what they are.

No they are not! Give your head a wobble...in the grand scheme of things, it's a slow car. Think VTR pace, a 106 GTI and a Saxo VTS will blow you away.

As for your timing method, it is about as effective as if you were using an abacus.

LOL quality thread this

Basically, what we should all gain from this thread is a bit of respec for the 1.6 clio, as really like the OP is saying it's quite a quick car, proven by his highly accurate and muppet-proof testing equipment and the 'fact' it can do 125mph on the speedo (whats that about speedo's overreading by 10% you say? nahhhh!)

Oh. Dear.

hilarious thread!!! just read this, how can a 1.6 16v clio possibly get a 0-60 time of 8 secs? if thats the case, i imagine the 1.8 16v clio is as quick as a 172! no chance.

JUST IMAGINE what would happen if i put in super unleaded and took my seats out, the sky's the limit!

People get too hung up on 0-60.
If a car is fun to drive then why give a toss?
Just pure willy waving

Shhh you're not allowed to be faster than a Clio.

Oh but i'll never be as fast around the twisties though, and this is all because i have run flat tyres apparantly. That could be sorted with a pops and bangs remap though, so i'll consider it. And anyway 0-60 times mean nothing, remember!
 
  It's nice
