seems an odd comparisson given the price differance, but i would imagine they would be very evenly matched, i'd go for a 172 or 182

I had a play with one when I was in my st170 powered rs replica and it was a dead heat. As far as I know that was a standard car.

My brother in law had the 197 and out of the 172 & 182 it was the slowest due to the weight. It never felt that quick so i dont imagine the 200 feels very quick either.

When I had a williams 3 and a 182 cup at the same time the Williams was more fun, performance was similar between them, but being a 15 year old renault the williams felt a bit fragile. The new clio200 is heavier than the 182 cup so wouldnt be much quicker (if any), but its a much bigger car better daily driver.

My Williams had a lot done to it - chip, exhaust, induction kit, Ao48's, brakes shocks bushes had all been replaced etc so it was a really good example - a good Williams is a really quick little car, loads of grip, really goes well above 4,000 revs and the seats are nice low unlike the later cars where you feel like you are sitting on top of it rather than in it.

Definitely the Williams, it would be the most fun as well. My 172 Cup is more fun than driving a 200 as well.
