captint Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Ok thought I'd report what the Vee (as they say) is like, totally different to the Zed, feels faster in a straight line and boy is it loud. Handling is no way near Z territory. But as a head turner whoa I have never experienced anything like it, today i have had two pictures taken, 4 cars tried to race me, and 3 cars stop as say now awesome it is. Its not a Zed but its not a bad substitute. I do miss the tail wagging of the Zed, knowing its limit and ironically the boot space. One crazy point my laptop was in the boot, by boot I mean 5 inch deep gap, it gets mighty hot back there, infact so hot it fried my laptop, seriously Quote

captint Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 Oh yeah, just have sooooo much work to do with the new biz will be just focusing on that for the rest of the year Quote
Removed Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 not faster than a Z in a straight line mate afaik. I witnessed a few 1/4 miles with Clio V6 and they always got beaten by the Z. Not much in it though. Have to say.... WHY the *&%$ would you buy a Clio V6 though, is beyond me. Apart from not having rear seats, repositioned engine, a few extra vents and costing (IIRC) IRO £25K+ new..... ? Quote
sl114 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I think Marc's brothers CLio isnt standard and possible faster due to a great power to weight ratio. Marc - sounds good but i can tell you miss the Zed Quote
GC350z Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I've always considered the Clio V6 to be a "lets build it for the sake of it" car. Anyone can put a big engine/turbo/supercharger into a little, light car. You sacrifice handling for power. Pure entertainment. Nothing more. Quote
stuey Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 hope the bonnet dosnt flip up on you.............. Quote
monkfish Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Pure entertainment. Nothing more. Exactly. What more do you want from a 2 seater?? Marc - We demand pics of the "Clio of Justice" or whatever it's called!! Quote
GC350z Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Pure entertainment. Nothing more. Exactly. What more do you want from a 2 seater?? Put simply I want a car that looks as good as it goes. Why else would we buy Z's. Quote

captint Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 Pics will follow, didn't buy it, my brother did as a weekend through about, I have to say its a good laugh and has imense grip in the dry, but is a tricky drive and dangerous in the wetm still stinks of rubber after my track day today Quote
captint Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 It's no Zed, but its pushing 280 bhp and weighs 1400 kgs so has a ptw of around 203, however its all in the back, weighted 1050 to 350, which is a bit silly Quote
