My mate has a diesel fiat punto with a hybrid turbo on it... that would beat a standard type-r ;D

After just selling my 280 bhp megane sport and jumping into the 2.2 I think it's great, not been back to fill up now for over two weeks and still get lots of fun out the car. Bloke across road from me has a type r and went on a few track days with us, the type r unless sorted is not quick round corners, the 2.0 clios were going passed it on the corners and in a straight line he could not keep up with the meg but the type r is a good looking car never the less, just not the best in its class but a very good car, that's why I've now got a oil burning civic, because it was prob the best value for money at the time of purchase. Hope I've not said anything I shouldn't, as for v's I know a diesel motor with just under 1600bhp it's the Jcb diesel max world record holder reaching 350 mph.. Would that beat a corsa.

I also say to any Type R owners slating 2.2 owners for modifying their car to look like a Type R.. I hope you don't have any Mugen branding or modifications, else that egg is gonna look pretty silly slap, bang on your face. |

Some odd you guys are out of order. I mean to slate the 2.2 on this forum
![]() Remember £200 puts the 2.2 in type r territory for straight line speed and in gear it will make mince meat out of it. £1000s need to be spent on the r to get an extra 50BHP. The 2.2 will not beat the r around the corners and is not a performance car so Derv drivers wake up. What the 2.2 is designed for is motorway cruising and for this its an awesome car. Funny thing is the people slating the 2.2 are the same people who voted against the Deisel section Sent from galaxy s2 via tapatalk |

Also can I just point out no 2.2 driver ever said it was a performance car, that was another thing one of the Type R drivers just wildly claimed when they didn't have anything else to say on the matter... |

These threads never cease to amaze & get very boring !! They pop up every few months & all hell breaks loose & get a bit personal after the initial bit banter !
What started out with a title a 2.2 v vxr turned into a 2.2 into a type r debate !! Get a grip & grow up !! We all here for one thing the love of our cars & to pick each overs brains if anything goes wrong ! Bye the way my car will kick a vxr 2.2 & type r's ass ( except for a few THE BEAST

But then you'd get taken by Mr Exec in his BMW or Mercedes.. Always going to be someone faster. All I want is for everyone to appreciate everyone else's cars. But I forgot, we're all human.
