[rory182]

205 gti's are great great cars but seriously lacking in outright speed.

why not get a clio 130 cup? lol

 

[dick]

well is he thinks a car with a name 172, has 130 brake, hes a full on spaz.

205gtis r nippy, not sure how the fair myself.

 

[Englebert]

It does suprise me how many people like cars but actually don't know anything about them. Although i prefer to just nod rather than look like a geek.

 

[Day]

They ain't all that mate.

Have to accept that somedays when driving a RenaultSport Clio you will be the pigeon and other days the statue.

 

[dick]

I was up against a near standard 1.9gti at fcs on the strip in my cup, which at the time was standard.

By the end of the runway i couldnt see him, was that much difference mate.

 

[LSmith89]

same here mate didnt wanna start arguing with em jus gunna wait till i get mine or a williams, thats another question actually whats the faster/better handling williams or 182/172 etc?

 

[Leeroy Skeen]

my mate has got a 1.9 205 gti and to be fair they were rapid for there time, but there time was 15 years ago and has been and gone. Ive had a few tear ups with him and if im being honest it wasnt even close!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

As a previous owner of a 205 1.9 GTi which was sold to buy the 182, the 182 is much quicker. The 1.9 is a great car but so very underpowered in todays terms. Most 1.9's never even made the factory figures of 130 brake either!

Try and have a rant without text speak and with proper punctuation.

 

[Martin_172]

pmsl sounds like my mate whos 1.0 corsa apparently eats 16v SXI's and 16v clios, but yet he never wants to go a wee thrash when ive got my car with me

 

[Dubai182]

Just nod along and agree and wait til you get it and absolutely s**t on him/them.
Nothing worse than someone who won't accept facts

 

[kully]

wonders never cease you rex .................nice 1

LOL! couldn't have said it any better myself, what a nob.

 

[Iain C]

Tell him to stick his old rust bucket 205 gti up his @rse then kick him in the shin.

[Cupster]

Nice pic too

People should read up on their car stats a bit more.....I mean what does this guy think the 172/182 numbers refer to?

 

[portal172]

I would eat Kate's poo without any salt.

 

[Laura]

in my experience i was in a 1.9 205 gti with a freshly rebuilt engine and we were equally matched to a 172 cup.

well tbf its got some truth they are 172 at the fly not at the wheels, bit missleading but you lose vital bhp through transmision, alternator , AC, ABS etc

 

[The Hoff]

Rex, more posts please! In fact mate, spam the thread!!! I demand it! The people demand it!

 

[Rich]

In the same way as a standard 1.9 GTi is more like 122-127 brake at the fly.

If you can find me a standard 1.9 that goes as well as a 172 Cup pass me the details as I would love to buy it!

No way, the 205 GTI in its day i.e. when run in but still new wouldn't come close to a 182. the 172 would out drag it also but the 205 just isn't in the race. It's like say the Astra GTE would compete with the RS Focus. no chance. 15 years of advancement under the bonnet.

 

[The Hoff]

Not to mention hefty engine wear

 

[Laura]

well it now has a Mi16 in it,which will blow up soon lol

 

[rory182]

an mi16 running 150 / 160 brake will prob beat a 172/182, much lighter car, and better handling - fact.
