YouTube - Renault Clio 172 vs Civic Type R
The unbeatable "corner killer" CTR takeovered from the outside, LOOOOOOL
Don't forget the Thai/ costs (here) twice as a PGT as new and 1.5x as the RS Clio (here), and it has a shorter ratio 6 speed gearbox and LSD as stock too. But is really better than twice for it...?
IMHO the higher cornering speed doesn't gives so much plus as the faster accerleration. Higher cornering speed +10km/h in a corner on ~80meters, and after this a 10km/h lower speed in a half kilometer long straight line...
