I took my car to Santa Pod on Saturday to see what the old girl could do. My first couple of runs were against a Pug 106 GTi to which i lost to. I was Horribly shocked and disappointed, and thought that my car was knackered and crap.

But after that i went and had a play with cars that were more my size Like Celicas, Cougars and Astras. There i was happy as i was either beting them, they were beating me, or it was a really close race between the both of us.

So i was guessing that partly one reason why the Pug had beaten me was because it has the same weight as a biscuit tin, and he had some really good power mods to help him.

So i was wondering, can any one tell me the weight of the Gen 1 Coupe as the Owner of the 2.0L Cougar was surprised that i out ran him on the strip.


Oh plus the Video....



Hope this works....and you enjoy


My Coupe is completely standard, has over 111k miles on the clock, and i was getting Low 17's all day. Is that good for a Gen 1 ? What times has anyone got from any range of the Gens ?



Cheers

Dave !

Not sure about weights without doing some serious googling but the Pug as standard may only have a 1.6 but it puts out 130bhp as standard. I so nearly bought one because it eats my coupe both in a straight line and round the corners where it just grips like I could not believe. The main thing that put me off was the Peugeot reliability record and which car would you rather hit a stationary object at 30mph in ? Also the coupe is soooo much better looking.

If you see a Pug with L.A.D. stuck somewhere on it then don't race it, they churn out mods for the 106gti that takes it to a solid 180bhp

Nice video btw

First time i went up crail i ran a 16.00 and that was just an exhaust system and 17's
Got the car chipped and been running consistent 15.4's but my best is a 15.3. Not been up with new manifold yet.
