New series starting tonight Ch5 7:30pm. Not the greatest prog but often watchable.
Sticky Vicky :love: tests 4 hatchbacks and Lewis Hamilton the McLaren MP4-12C.
-
i thought it got binned?
i'll add it to the sky+ as i'm going to be busy with the project mobility truck from this arvo for the next few days :pomppomp:
-
Cheers, RR. My other half spotted this the other night. I thought it had been dropped too, clearly there was a change of mind :happy2: I much prefer it to TG - It's much closer to the old format of TG, which I prefer (which comes as no surprise as it is/was most of the orginal production team).
-
Yep i'll be watching it just for the Hot Hatch battle (feat Rocco R, Focus RS, Megane 250 and Mazda 3 MPS).

lad over from me has just bought mazda 3 mps brand new, it sounds like a bag of spanners, nearly told him the other day!! sounds like a ten year old transit on a morning, and thats coming from me with a french car :signLOL:
-
Looking forwards to seeing the Ferrari 458 tonight :drool: and VBH :drool:
-
VBH :sick: IMHO. But looking forward to the series. :happy2:
-
Sky +'d :wink:
-
lets place bets on the 'best' hot htach there then.
i reckon
1-meganne
2-rocco r
3-focus RS
4-golf R
-
Pah
Megane
Focus
Roco R
Golf R
-
rs
rocco
meggy
golf
-
^^^^
I don't see the Rocco as a hatchback, so:
Golf
Meggy
RS
But RS van ferry boat last whichever way.
-
the rocco is a hot hatch, if its not then what is it. it has 4 seats, a decent boot, granted its not as big as the golf/focus, but it is a sleeker designed 3dr hatch.
the R needs to be good on this, its the only one with the AWD, all the others are high power FWD. the meganne and focus both have mechanical diff, rocco has that XDS jobbie.
not even ranking the mazda in with them, i really cant see it cutting the mustard dynamically with them. im interested to see how the RS's power advantage holds up against the others though.
-
What power advantage??? :confused:
No one has apparently tested one on a RR yet that has reached higher than 280bhp standard.
-
ive seen my mtes make 297hp on DD rollers. apparently alot of them wern't ran in and have since been making better HP
-
Fair enough then :happy2:
I know a lot of people were complaining they didn't make the 300bhp
One of the blokes at work has one and had his tested and it only got 276bhp :surprised:
Might tell him to go and get it back on the RR
-
couldnt care less really, have you heard them, bloody epic. he couldnt get away from me once rolling when i had all the mods on and stage 2+, which p!ssed him off, lol. id have one ina blink of an eye.
-
Yeah I'm slightly quicker than him to 150 :party: :party: ( done on a runway before anyone asks )
He was quicker to about 75-80 though and yeah the sound is nice from that 5 Pot
-
According to fifth gear the Focus RS only does 0-62 in 7.3 secs :surprised: :signLOL:
Think they need to go check their figures :signLOL:
-
Button and Hamilton get an MP4-12C for free :surprised: :surprised:
W@nkers :fighting: :signLOL:
-
well the meganne spanked the focus RS by quite a big margin. The focus RS spanked the RoccoR, and we already know the rocco is faster on track than the golf R. prob a good thing they never had the golf there, could have been quite embarassing given the price tag of it.

Don't forget that there has been tests with the Rocco R being quicker round track than the RS. Bit odd really.. :confused:
-
^^^^
Sorry Sy, but the Rocco's back seats are very poor - You can't see out the side windows unless you're a child - and the back isn't hatch shaped. It's a Golf coupe, not a hatchback imo.
-
still faster than the golf R though :grin: irrelevant of what type of car you think it is

that is true, however in the 4 or 5 vids i have seen now with these cars in the meganne has always been the top car, with the Rocco R and RS, being very competetive with each other.
that said the golf R might have had a slight advantage with the traction in the damp. I wander if that was why the rocco R was left behind, since it was the only one without a proper LSD.
-
Is it repeated ?.Stuck on nights & forgot to set the box.
-
Five on Demand :happy2:
-
it was a poor review of all the cars, they couldnt have spent morwe than 1 minute on each of the cars. 3 of the most important cars to hit the market :mad:
-

Some serious quality issues are already cropping up though. Several instances of the plastic inlet manifold exploding - one instance I know of needed a new bonnet! And they weren't mapped either, so standard boost pressure.
I'd take either R over the chav-chariot any day of the week. There's more to life than peak power figures and lap times. Point to point, on an a-typical British road, in a-typical damp British weather, I know where my money would be. All £37.5k of it.
-
Surely you can get an S3 cheaper than £37.5k :party: :signLOL:

That 458, oh my lord :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

they do look the nuts! only problem is will it kill you or will it break first. :signLOL:

yeah but in the five minutes of drivng it prior to the imminent death via a tree, you'd have had the time of you life(what little remained)
side exit exhausts for the winner

You would take a 2nd hand, unreliable, 30k, fibreglass kit car, over a 458??? :surprised: :stupid: :grin: ETTO I suppose..
