Raced clio rs 197

[Majorcina]

Tonight i race clio rs 197 , i won the race,but i am not happy what lenght was. It waa a rolling start in 1st (i was around 2400rpm) till 170 we are close,i am half car in front,after 170 i take off more. So i wonder is something wrong with my car or...?
My car is chipped by prj and ported polished head

You have 80ish HP more and twice the torque + Quattro, and it kept up with you upto 170km/h?

[Majorcina]

Yes,it was small diference till 170

[hunker7]

Yes,it was small diference till 170

I would think it should've been an easy win. But I don't understand much

[terrybullwon]

It's going to be about 350kg lighter. It's going to be quick

[Majorcina]

My car has 1700kg,and wiki says clio was 1240kg. But still wondering is something wrong on my car or it shud be like that?

[hunker7]

Ask him/her to do a standing start, and see who wins then

[Majorcina]

I win from rolling start,from standing he has no chance

Colin Chapman said it best when asked how to make a car faster. Add lightness.

Was the Clio modified?

[Majorcina]

No,stock

[Billman]

you have 80 HP more but double transmission loss also.

[Majorcina]

So is this a normal result or my car is not going good?

Clio is a fast car, you need bigger turbo

Those Clio's are quick and more importantly light. Your car is heavy, 4WD and has only a marginally better power to weight ratio.

Your dented pride can be restored with a bigger turbo and some other costly gubbins.
