martini Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Well I think it's a lovely drive and it should be in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Its not a drivers car as such though is it? Its heavy to start with and needs some suspension changes (especially on a UK spec) to make it handle properly. An MR2 is a drivers car, handles impecibly out of the box, was that in the list?

Twice, MK1 at 100th and the MK3 at 43rd, no MK2 though, probably for similar reasons the Supra wasn't listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 found first 50 1 McLaren F1 2 Ferrari F40 3 Pagani Zonda 4 Lancia Delta Intergrale 5 Bugatti Veyron 6 Honda NSX/R 7 Porsche 911 997 GT3 8 911 2,7 RS 9 Honda Integra Type R (DC2) 10 Nissan Skyline R32/R33/R34 That's not the same list I'm looking at in the magazine, maybe an older one? I wasn't going to spoil it too much for those people who subscribe but: 1. Zonda F 2. Lotus 340R 3. 996 GT3 4. Caterham R300 5. Megane R26.R 6. Elan (the RWD one) 7. Clio Trophy 8. F50 9. MX5 10. Evo VI Makinen Obviously it's a subjective topic from driver to driver. This is issue 135 BTW, October 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Can't understand why a 997 GT3 wouldn't be better than a 996 GT3, obviously if it's just a vote then prolly more people have 996's, then the list loses it's credibility as it's not who is best, rather who is most favoured?

Its always a popularity contest with these things. To be taken with a pinch of salt. Surely for handling Elise's and Radical's would be at the top?

jevansio Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It might be but surely it's no better than any other of the top of the range hot hatches (Focus RS/ST, Civic Type R etc), it's a completely pointless list, it's like saying Top 100 household items of all time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The Clio is a very VERY good drive My mate had a 182 and it was superb, it wouldn't out handle my Evo V though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It might be but surely it's no better than any other of the top of the range hot hatches (Focus RS/ST, Civic Type R etc) The only car which comes close with FWD is the Megane R26.R, which is on the list too. IMHO of course, but the Clio Trophy is really quite underestimated. Still, you're right, it's a subjective list. I guess it depends on the roads/writers/weather etc etc etc. My mate had a 182 and it was superb, it wouldn't out handle my Evo V though. Was it a Trophy?

Scott Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Was it a Trophy? Na, he got the cup suspension but not when i drove it though. I agree with what you are saying but you cannot compare the handling of a fwd clio to a awd evo (and thats me taking one of the understated handling cars).

SimonT Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I dont get how an Impreza P1 can beat an Imprexa 22b....... They probably couldnt find many 22b owners that would let them out the garage to find out how they drive and P1's are quite common that would be my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
