aye ollie told me there amazing, bit of a heavy clutch thoughI looked at a Mk2 Clio V6 before buying my TVR. I test drove one and thought it was great, but too slow and still just a Renault Clio at the end of the day.
They do sound good, but not compared to any TVR - especially the Rover V8's. I'd had the 172 Cup and felt that was about the pinnacle for Clio ownership. The V6 just struck me as a bit too expensive and slow for what it is.
Saying that - I commend Renault for putting the money into creating a car that drives the correct wheels and is aimed purely at drivers.
Torque is great - I just love the lurch forwards in any gear at any revs that my Chimaera gives - but that's 1060kg and 300lbft of torque though. Lovely part is - you still get a top end rush with 280+bhp as well
TVR now thats a car not an s2000
Z3M Coupe would have to be in the list
Has to be said the V looks top but imo looks faster than it is which is a shame.
Your opinion. Just as many people don't want a vee, many don't want an s2000. Have you driven one out of ineterest? I have, s2000 (this was a pre 2008 car) has the most nervous chassis I've ever driven, you have no idea how much grip the rear has.
The thing people always forget is that the handling of a Vee is a challenge. Its harder to drive well. I needs finesse and skill. Smooth inputs. A skilled driver will be MUCH faster in a Vee than any standard CUP etc in ANY conditions. Many on here will be slower but its not the car its the driver!
Proof
Top Gear test track. The Vee in the PISS DOWN RAIN / MONSOON (i'm sure you have seen the vids) was faster than a cup in the dry. Yes the poor handling car with RWD and mid engine is faster in the wet. Funny that eh? Same time as a Aston Martin Vanquish in the same conditions. Slow eh? Pah.:rasp:
If your faster in a cup its cos you can't drive! Fact. Proven as above! The end!:approve:

Why do threads involving V6's have to drag on for so long with people bickering about what better cars there are out there

I've noticed the same thing whenever there's a Trophy related thread.
Arguably 2 of the best cars Renaultsport have ever produced, and theres never a good word said about them, on a forum which is supposed to be Clio enthusiasts?!
We should have all bought 172 cups and put them on H&R's then we could all be friends
but soo many people look & then pretend not to see it (in my experience they look & then turn their head away in neck snapping fashion, i've no idea why tbh:S )I love all of the vee related banter tbh (shall I resurrect the thread on - have you ever driven a vee ??) As some I bet, haven't at all.
Also, I lol'd hard at a porsche boxster & an s2000 being head turning cars, no they aren't at all !!! A boxster is common as, out of twenty cars I think at least two would be boxsters. S2000's are rarer, but it's not un heard of seeing one on the road at all.
The 350z on the other hand is rare, so that car will (and does turn heads) and I like them.
The vee of course, does do it
Gaz, as above, have you driven the honda or the v6
FWD clio's can get boaring!
RWD clio's have not boared me yet!
It's all about how much fun you have driving.
£19000 worth of fun. Worth every penny.
