SpeedFreak Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well, I still stick with my decision that I think the Starlet would struggle.Only one way to get the truth, and thats for him to race his mate and post up the video!But as said already, this all depends on spec of both cars and drivers.

joe-ep91 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Starbo would win in my eyes, not biased or anything. Plus i dont like the idea of 25psi boost on a french engine!Renault FTMFL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

montanajr Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 This whole thread makes me lol. On paper the R5 loses in terms of 0-60, 1/4 time BUT if you look at the original post all the bloke says is that his mate bought an R5 GTT and wants to race his Micra, err, I mean Glanza. For all we know hes running 200+hp and would rape the Starlet! We need more info y0! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just because the R5 is a french car, it doesn't mean it cannot beat a Starlet because it's french. God people speak some shit.

R5 out the factory are nothing amazing but as people have said once midly fiddled with they can be very quick, they are famous for this! stock glanza's are slow as fuck tbh so not sure why people are so set in there minds that nothing can beat there glanza.. people need to be abit more opened minded about other cars out there!

Callan Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Couldn't of put it better myself!but coming from me whos owned a french piece of shit for the last 11 months i think i can say what i want about french cars...theyre utter shite, Name 1 good reliable turbo french car, or infact any french car!!!spent £1300 in total on my 306, and its been on the road 3 weeks out of 9 months of driving, mates r5s a shed just like all of them, clios have gay gearboxes, lagunas have paper cambelts, 106s have shit gearboxes too and saxos, 206s are poor quality too and all torsion beamed pugs seem to have nackered rear beam bearings so the wheels camber negative, also dont forget about the interior trim, undo 14 torx screws, pull the trim out and it cracks in 2...niceonly good french car i recon is a 205 gti 1.9 or a 405 mi16, im glad r5's are nearly all deadstarlet FTMFW!!!

Glanza-Love Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 lol its cal, what do you expect from him, he knows shit.not worth getting yourself worked up about about... Lol fish i think you should shhhhh you dont know Cal... so saying he dont know fuck all is just pointless imo.he may talk shit sometimes but the boy knows cars. so imo.. sit comfy in your little chair and STFU...as for french cars they are very unreliable and do break.. me as a pug owner ALSO had to repair my quickie EVERY month with something new...be it a break pad to cv joint to electronics to alternator belts what ever you needed to repair.. and a car like the r5 at its age.. and 99% ragged out there TITS will probably be cunted... the only high powerd ones will be the lads who have the cash to make them BIG power..dont know if you know well of renaults history of there turbo'd cars.. but all = FAILso please save it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I don't like french cars either, but Cal you talk so much crap, the only reason your 306 was unreliable is because you had messed around with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
montanajr Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Maybe let previous R5 owners comment about reliability ? And not reguritate stuff you've read on Wikipedia! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
