Oooof!! Just seen this thread, read through and watched the Vid. Nice vid Neil btw! I've done the whole "how fast is it" thread myself, been on here for a bit now, but watching that vid.... still gives a shock. It looks like the Zed struggles to keep up with the Clio (yes i realise its stripped etc. If not would the Zed simply pass it??). You've no idea watching that how much I choked for 2:00 to come... i'm sittin watching it thinking... "Go on! Go on!!... god dammit GO ON MY SON!!" lol!.My mate has a Clio 182....and I HAVE had a shot in it. My impressions were... how god awfully cheap they were and felt inside, like it would fall apart. BUT it is RAPID... to put it childishly...even if..when floored things shake, rattle and roll lol Didn't think it'd show a Zed some heels though. Thank god the power surged up and got passed lol. Still not put me off though... Thats whats appealing about the Zed, speed, power, luxury (and I don't mean like...Audi BMW, special cows a*rse leather...I mean the essentials of more kit, leather seats, cruise, heated seats, air con, decent dash layout), and the LOOKS. Spec other cars to that level...even the metal pedals on other cars!... and your lookin' 10-20K more when they were new. You won't feel short changed going from a Clio to the Zed, and track wise... I'm sure it'll still put a smile on your face.
