No mate its n/a but im told by the vr6 specialist garage that its the fastest n/a k2 theyve driven. i had nothing to do with it, just bought it like it is and added few ligh mods like exhaust, 6 branch, decat, induction,leads etc. but it does go well. 7 weeks now till i turbo it. cant wait. Then i can start racing some bigger fish. For now im happy with owning a clio sport that prob had 200bhp plus under his bonnet. and still got owned, i wonder if hes put the french tin can on ebay and purchased himself a vr.if not im sure sum of you guys will gladly whoop his a/s till he does ..

have you got a mk 3, what bhp you got. I think the engine pulls better in the mk2 from what iv seen and read. not sure of the weight diff. I had alot of power left when i was behind him. i was lettin the power on and off to bully him out the way, as his tin can was revin its tits off with no torque wotsoever. if he would of been alongside me, he would of got left right from the start. I was shocked at how easy i went past. as i no there quite a quick little car.not had mine dynod yet, but i must be on the 200 mark to be killing that so easy.

your welcome to have a go in mine m8, your only 30 min away.iv not driven a mk3 so i cant compare it. iv found out that the mk2 with vr lump in, actually only weighs 1080. 70kgs more than a normal gti mk 2. so if im running near 200 its not bad power to weight ratio.iv got mine partially stripped out, only in the back though. i dont want to ruin a nice gti lol.just needs that turbo in 7 weeks. shud make a great x mas present.from me to me. the beauty of being single with no siblings. lol

thats a power to weight of 188bhp per ton

the same power in a mk3 is 176bhp per ton

all factory stock clio sports (barring the cup models which were 90kg lighter) right through the ages have had a power to weight of +1 or -1 of 160bhp per ton. Its almost like they didnt have a power goal they just had a power to weight goal and when the car inevitably got heavier they just upped the power til it reached 160 per ton again.

So thats a good thing for you to remember, you should technically be able to take on any non cup clio sport from 172 to brand new
