[richi]

just a small 2mb clip of some guys in a stivo vs a clio, slightly amusing =)

would work better if there were subtitles, what do u think the t-sport driver is saying?

please advise me whether that was a clear win by the t-sport or did the clio get some legs late in the piece.

the sportivo has a lot of fire power once where moving :D

It looked like the T-Sport went ahead and then the Clio came up at the end. I think that the Clio kinda won cos the video is from a Clio website.

The clio gets the Stivo off the mark and pulls away slowly until we hit lift but it is rare that we will catch up, the only race we would stand a chance against it in would be like a 0 - 200 race or something, my Ex had one and the only way I could beat her would be for me to get a perfect take off and changes and her to make a few minor mistakes. They are light as all crap and they have a snot load of torque.

There's a clio getting around Adelaide with a plate starting with RCT...

Yep, it's a Renault Clio Turbo, and I saw it hose off an R33 Skyline.

Its interesting... he doesn't seem to nail his gear changes all that well... . then right at the end you can see the stivo starting to pull him back in again.

His very last gear change when the clio pulls him in and overtakes sounds like he messed it up a bit.... but maybe its just my ears.

[Blade Hunter]

I thought it sounded like he backed off, like he was sure of his win and the Clio kept gunning it so he gunned it again. At rolling starts the Stivo does VERY well against many cars, our main downfall is waiting for lift to kick in.

I watched that clip over and over again and i would say for sure it was down to the gear ratios. The Stivo started in 3rd changed to 4th before 160km/h and pulled away because the Clio's 4th gear ratio is longer, then the Stivo changed into 5th and revs dropped while the Clio was still in 4th and reeling in. That was what happened and the guy in the Stivo never backed off. Also another point to note is the slipstream where the car behind can gain easily on the car in front at certain speeds like 200km/h.

[ADR_rolla]

yeah i watched it over and over again.. and the stivo is just about to over take him at the end. So there u go..

and with the slipstream arent u meant to be behind the other car for it to work? not to the side of him... As the slipstream doesnt expand so far out to the sides.

[saintz01]

also, weren't there 2 people in the stivo compared to just the driver in the clio sport?

Theres no way we would have lost in rolling start, his gear shifts sucked a$$ and he didnt stay in lift. Stivo would have kept on pulling.

Also Imek... WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SITE

Dude, that sites awseome, good find :).

For those that have not looked, you can do comparisons between cars.

That's not a drag race - if you want a 2mb wmv file of the most outrageous drag race ever, then I need either someone to host the file or your email address...

[Blade Hunter]

I can host it, drop me a PM, I have hosted **** for someone before on this forum :).
