Good hot hatch performance with a few modern toys and a bit newer and more refined. Yes everyone talks about rattling panels etc. but they're not as bad as in older French cars as far as I could tell. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

I'd be looking for a 172Cup after my rallye. My twin and I have had two now, a phase 1 and a 182Cup. The phase 1 was brilliant with just Bilstein coilovers and solid top mount kit. Handling was quite something. I now part own a 172 Cup and even as standard it's a really capable car. And importantly fun! It's a hard choice between my S1 8v rallye or the Cup for a blast. Test drive one and you'll see they are more driveable than a 6. ________________________________________ Beef Beyond Belief |

I have access to a 172 Cup most days anyway so that helps. ________________________________________ Beef Beyond Belief |

Every one I have had experience with handles like complete s**te, the arse end skips all over the place! Alot of them are a fair bit slower than the Gti 6 but there are some quick ones out there. Must be how they are looked after. I certainly wouldn't buy one for an upgrade! ________________________________________ Astor 6 |

Sorry ed but you must have driven some knacked ones. Just bought another tonight! a phase one.  It absolutely flys compared to my gti6! Granted its not standard and stripped out to an inch of its life lol.I think the gearing must be better on these, the gti6 doesnt seem that quick untill your carrying abit of speed imo. |

I havent drove that many just had a play with a few in my car. My friend had a low milage 172 which was quick, tiny bit quicker that my 306 and my other friend had a phase one 172, stripped out etc which was exactly the same as my 306 and my car handled the round abouts etc alot better than the clio's. I have played with a few which i could of got out and pushed my car past it they were so slow. I cant see my 306 being quicker than any other 306 so i dont really understand the hype about these clio's. ________________________________________ Astor 6 |

If there's any local members with a GTi6 I'd like to do a back to back comparison.Mine may be a payday car though with decent cam timing. It does feel very very lively and I swapped with my friend in his 197 Cup - he couldn't get over how much quicker it felt than his and I couldn't get over how flat his felt. ________________________________________  |

The 197's are even worse that the 172/182's imo! They look nice though!________________________________________ Astor 6 |

Beat my mates sunflower yellow phase1 from a side by side 40mph drag but its now high boost so no chance now  the mother in law has a face lift 172 cup with cat back and i would say my car is slightly quicker. They are very skippy on the rear end but very fun to drive. My other friend has a 182 with a few subtle mods we did a 40mph drag and there was literally nothing in it at all. Good cars but no way an upgrade. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG  5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |
