Default FAO Tiff

Tiff, just wondering, how do you rate your PUG compared to your 3dr on the track, ie do you think it is quicker lapping, handling etc, i mean when you was running your stage3 set up. Iknow the pug is lighter, but would a stage 3 cossie have it down the straights, just curious mate

From past experience, I reckon Tiff's pug would lap faster than his cossie despite the 150bhp deficit.

I never took my 3DR on a track.....(Cue the abuse )

BUT

Compairing it to a 330bhp Sapphire i went up against at Donnington with Marco in the car, The pug was AWESOME and kept up with it. Yes the Cossie pulled better out of the corners and on the straights but every time we crossed the line i was right behind him.

He even got out the Sapphire and asked to know what was in the 205


I think he was a little gutted

Admittedly i was on Slicks and he was on road tyres but for what my car owes me it is worth every single penny

Next time i am on track you will have to come out for a few laps

Indeed mate, she is a monster....as is any other 205 Mi16 as Sketch and SiB showed on Saturday

If you want a cheap, fun track car that can mix it with alot of higher bhp cars....the 205 is the one

Absolutly and then team T+S can pull it apart and prepare it for track using our skills.

You guys seemed like you had a very professional set up at Bedford Changing bits over at lunch time and all, was well impressed
If ever i decide to desecrate the grey one and take it on track can i hire the T+S team

Lyns - it's almost a crime NOT to be on track.

Sort it out!
