Clio Cup Turbo vs Porsche 911 GTS @ Brands Hatch
- Thread starter Johnc172
- Start date
Clio goes well and decent driving but its not really a monumental achievement is it 310hp/tonne in the GTS v 350/tonne in the cup guessing it weights around 1000kg with passenger? And on slicks to boot. I highly doubt he'd be annoyed either as at the end of the day he drives home in his £90k Porsche and the fact he let a 15 year old Renault Clio past would be a distant memory, and lets face it he wont have been on full attack mode in his brand new £90k GTS!

Does this have a diff in it?
Yeah fuel pump, have a swirl pot set up in the spare wheel wheel - it is horrible! But need it for surge. I'll be making an enclosure for it soon, just haven't got round to it
Engine is the normal F4R, fully forged, GT2871r (genuine) etc etc. I've done 4 track days on it so far, and its not missed a beat. Each time I've given it death to be fair too, I've always got in the back of my mind....how long will this last...?!
Sorry, the fun police are here!!
I overtook that Porsche another 3-4 times before that video during the day, each time at corners - no big deal, like you say £90k car - I wouldn't want to prang it!
But on the main straight it was quite interesting to see how close it was - more for the people who always ask me "how quick is your car"
Haha was just thinking the same
Yeah, Quaife diff, only second time out with the diff, taking a bit of getting used to

One thing I'll never ever understand, is why people take passengers out on their track days. People go to all that effort weight shedding and increasing power/weight ratio and then stick 60kg(+++) in the passenger seat!
But then he realised his Porsche couldnt compensate for his size down below and the fact he couldnt get it up to smash his Trophy wife, thats why shes on the other end of the neighbors gardeners pole during his track days. 😂
.
My mate who comes all the track days with me weighs in at 115kg, the difference is ridiculous. 2-3 seconds a lap easy, its not just the time lap time difference, the car handles horribly.
Just fucked the passenger and rear seats out and let him drive. More fun for everyone.

This is a very odd thread.
So many assumptions lol.
I know which car I'd rather be in.... and that's the one that I could then use daily in comfort with ease, and not the one that rattles to s**t with a noisy as f**k fuel pump lol!
Easy to build a car that will keep with a 911 (none GT/RS model) but theres no chance itll do everything else as well as the Porsche does once its left the track.
Try do the same against a GT3 and it'll tear you a new one. Then drive home in comfort to hsi f**k off house and smash his trophy wife

Haha! f**king hell you lot are completely missing the point! You really think if I had the choice I'd rather have my clio than a brand new GTS?! Deluded!
It's hardly a review of which car is better, obviously the GTS is, and I'll happily admit the drive home was awful, stuck in traffic with that noise - terrible!
It was purely a straight line speed comparison video, End of.
Hey, it could be worse, I could be posting videos of a "chipped with pop and bangs map" 172 racing a standard Fiesta ST or Civic away from the lights on the road. Yaaaaaaaaawn.

Can you post some vids of the trophy wife, tx.

Tbh I watched the video and thought "That porka is fast!"
Would have thought a 350hp Clio should be making mincemeat of non turbo 911s in a straight line.

I would, but she left me for a Porsche owner
