They are slower than the 172's, IIRC the 182's are still the fastest Clio's out.

Except the CUP versions of course

My mate has a tuned 182, I used to beat him, but he tuned it some more, and now he beats me. Never mind. Standard Fabia won't stay with a 172, 182, 0r 197 in a standing start. Or in the twisties if its driven properly.

I beat an egg once. I was making an omelette.

Thanks

Wow that's pretty cool (About beating the 182, not the egg :P )

My vRS is standard at the moment and will be untill sometime in 2009 when the warrenty runs out :thumbdwn: Shame because i've already gotten used to the "Shove you in the back of your seat" power of a standard car :(

Still love driving it though

according to parkers the 172 is the same 0-60 as the 172 at 6.7 seconds and the 182 comes in at 6.9 but the v6 is 6.2 for the original or 5.6 for the later version.

so chris either your mate wasn't driving it right or its going to losen up alot over time

Who races to 60 anyway?

alright, so the fabia would drop further back due to its girder like aerodynamics and weight

Thought I'd have the fecker on a private road.

Followed him off behind onto a dual carridge way

:orb_lol:

Girder? GIRDER???

Breeze block mate, breeze block.

looking at the spec the new clio has become a right little fatty, the 197 weighs 1240Kg :eek:

the old 172 weighed about 1020Kg

Bengie: from your signature, did you used to own vdubs? (classic ones, not that modern tat)

and i could easily beat a remapped fabia on the airfield

Change the record.... I think everyone is more than aware that, in the world of Bengie,

a) Fabia VRS's are crap,

anything with a diesel engine under the bonnet is a crap,

c) you have the fastest Octavia in the world and

d) you are a driving god.

After all the vast majority of all your posts claim either one or more of he above points when discussing the Fabia VRS or when someone dares post something about enjoying the performance of the Fabia VRS.

No doubt you'd have beaten the Le Mann's winning Derv Powered Audi 'on the airfield' as well.

Its a shame because I agree/share the same views with the majority of your posts in other areas of the forum and find them either entertaining or informative

tit.

tit.

All you seem to do is log on to the forum 23 hours a day? and make it your business to slag off the Fabia vRS. Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and in responce:-

a) Fabia VRS's are crap,

not at all, i think they are good for what they are i just get extremely tired of people claiming they are the fastest thigns on the planet.

anything with a diesel engine under the bonnet is a crap

again not at all as i think the BMW 535D would be great fun as was the Nova TD I had

c) you have the fastest Octavia in the world

again far from the truth, i am fully aware that there are people on the forum running 200bhp+ more than i am and envy them for it:) even with my 4WD and Des's car running very rich he still spanked me in a straight line down at Portsmouth and his car sounded awesome.

d) you are a driving god.

setting quite a trend here aren't we? so again your wrong

you remember me starting a thread where i put my van on its side in a hedge dodging a Doe, a Deer a Female Deer?

a lot of people on here seem to think they know me or how i am and how i think about things when they are so wrong its unbelievable, just ask some of those on here that actually know me for a true account, I'm an ar$e

All you seem to do is log on to the forum 23 hours a day? and make it your business to slag off the Fabia vRS. Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

please refer to my previous two posts.

HTH

I'd have to agree, some people just naturally antagonise others.

He isnt the only one... They cant let an opportunity go to waste!

You come to ignore it after a while.

right, for my own interest i have just had a quick browse of my last 200 posts and only 5 of them i could really see as being classed by anyone as "slaging off a fabia vRS" so seeing as i spend about 75% of my time browsing and not posting and only 2.5% of those posts are what you claim i only spend approx. 0.625% of my time slagging of Fabia, so i feel i just try harder on this.

Fabia's suck balls.

happy to be of service.

tit.

That may be the case in your opinion, I could think of quite a few terms for you at times the way you come across, but as you rightly point out in real life your a sound bloke.

All I did was make an observation as Dave did....

You claim the Fabia VRS is a good package for what they are..... never herd that one before from you

You now claim that not all diesels are crap, yet in a thred a while ago you claimed that they were only good for tractors, lorries and vans :confused:

Setting quite a trend aren't we ????????

If you want to have a go back then please do it via pm, I can't be arsed getting in a slanging match with you on a public forum and takeing the thread off topic

rather contradictory, but nothing out of the ordinary.

As Dave rightly pointed out you really do need to get a life

Beat an MR2, In a standard Fabia? Sorry.. But... LOL...

Even in a remapped Fabia, there's not much difference

NO way:eek: , is fishing a hobby of yours.

I've always thought the fabia was decent but with stupid coloured seats(same for octavia) just not what some people make it out to be which is an all conquering vehicle

I believe what i actually said was that diesels are only any good for tractors, lorries, vans and tight people

and i don't need a life as looking back at my posts and working that lot out took 5mins tops

i take it some of you don't realise how much i laugh when posting on this forum

Is it just me, or have we strayed rather off-topic?

Anyone remember a vRS against an A4, at the start of the thread?

Steve

NO way:eek: , is fishing a hobby of yours.

I would be really greatful if you could say that again, but in English.

Oh.. and welcome to Briskoda.

Dam, knew I'd forgoten something

i take it some of you don't realise how much i laugh when posting on this forum

Likewise....

As a newbie, ive always thought this bengie guy came across as a ****..

Can’t believe you’ve still got a hard-on over beating that (fabia on the airfield)..

And if that POS in your avatar is your ride then you obviously couldn’t afford a Fab vrs.

Personally.. I’d prefer to rub human $h1t through me hair than drive that w@nk!
