Depending on the spec of the r5 turbo, my old one was running 32psi and would give the mojority of stuff on the road a run for its money.
Was scarry when it was in 5gear pulling like a train with the back end bouncing off the ground because it was too low
the good old days

My mate had a tuned Phase1 and it was rapido!
Was a weird car that one,cruising on the by-pass at 60mph and it was boosting at 5psi
Never had any issues with the head gasket though,it was everything else
Still an RS owner cant really comment on reliability

As said already, I think it comes down to the spec of both the cars. I think on evenly matched spec cars, the R5 is gonna have you from the lights, but I reckon at 100+ you will start to reel him in!

between me and my brother we have had ten renault 5s my brother still has two now as well as his series 1 5s just have a bad rep if you pay pennys you will get a shit one and it will break all the time same as anything else
as for the 5 against the rs how many rs turbos are in the 11s-13s quarter mile there are loads of 5s doing these times at pod so it all comes down to spec but they only way you will find out is by having a go , my mates 5 is rapid 270bhp and still a 1.4 beats me every time

both standard?. r5 easily in my opinion, but who cares. they both get tuned to silly bhp. always the same with turbo cars, there is so much power increase to be had that i never have a go at any turbo cars lol cause mines standard and the others persons more than likely wont be
