My fastest FULL timed lap was 8' 15" but I know I did some faster ones later in the day. The car was having sparkplug issues on the trackday.

Having said that a standard car on standard wheels doing 8'09" is phenomenal and I'd like to bet it was a professional race driver that managed it and it would have to be on a closed track to get a full lap time in too. :happy2:
Sorry John thought your time was b t g, so yeah your ed 30 would hammer it with racing driver :happy2:

Mental time if it's simply just a 15bhp ECU tweak over the standard 250.. But I do feel there is more to it somewhere considering it's seen off both the TTRS and 1M..  :surprised:

Tat! 27k tat :signLOL: 1m would have been much more fun, Renaultsports selling point is lap times, and have been fastest in class for years, they always find 10 sec on the ring, r26 time is 830, r26r 820 now 265 is 810, let's see If they get into 7s :driver:

Very good, also to add my wife is happy to drive a 12k ED30 but not a 12K(ok 12.5k if we are splitting hairs :signLOL:) R26R!

Only joking I will be honest though, that is a lot of money. I absolutely love Clio 197's and I don't mind the 200 either but in a kind of Grey colour I saw at the renault day at Silverstone last year.

Not a massive fan of the Megane if I am honest.

I would buy a cheap 197 though and strip if for track days.

I think they should have made it look a bit more like the Megane Trophy.

Very impressive times, but how fast a racing driver can get a car around a closed track has never been a factor for me when buying a car.

I buy cars based on fun and build quality and I hate to admit it but image does count a little, no matter how good it is most people wouldnt think it was anything other than a boy racers wet dream :sad1:

You cant knock it, even at 27,000 none of the other manufactures can get near it for similar money. Ok VW are not trying but the others are. Mighty impressive i say.  :congrats:

the ford boys tried and failed to match the R26R, and blamed the R888s. well this one has managed it without R888s and is still 40hp less.
