i prefer the megane than the rs anyday...better handling, prettier,much better in the corners and cheaper

@EscarepioSenior Of course you don't :)

[EscarepioSenior]

@Mantua64 don't agree.

@EscarepioSenior Everyone knows the Megane is better than Ford Focus Rs when it comes to handling.

Do just a little tuning on the Renault and it is heaps ahead of any Focus.

Period!

@FuRyZee once again!! track is one thing and real roads is another. And the confidence that the car gives is other. The megane is a good car i guess, but you can tell that it's better than the focus if you never driven a focus.

I bought an RS250 a few weeks ago, its a brilliant car, its handling is amongst the best and its grip is monumental. In a road like that, it should have easily destroyed a Focus RS. Maybe they should have found someone who can properly drive. The proof is in the Nurburgring lap time.

@Borgalizer Nobody will take that car apart and check it out. It cannot be stock: on a 20.6 km circuit, getting a time 7 sec behind a Nissan GTR (4x4, more power) or 3 sec behind Audi R8 (4x4, +~50% power) means being quicker than these in corners, which defies the whole FWD cornering disadvantage. Makes no sense Megane Trophy 265hp FWD 8.08; Audi R8 V8 AWD 414hp; Audi R8 V10 AWD 518hp 7.44. Renault have F1 experience, I know their testing facilities, trust me, they CAN make a "special edition"

if this guy could drive it would be closer.

@Borgalizer look on wikipedia nurburgring lap times ;)

тра-ля-ля ни о чем, тупо покатались по горным серпантинам... ни цифр с круга , да и круга, лишь субъективное мнение какого-то пенсионера

@kint909 You sure know something about cars. It is indeed the trophy version I was talking about. But the record time was driven with a stock rs trophy. Otherwise it would be the record time for non commercial fwd vehicles. Only mods allowed for lap times for commercial vehicles are tires. Check out the rules and lap records at the official nurburgring track site...
