[QUOTE="Stunty, post: 103354, member: 1333"] Ok I may be new to this Renaultsport stuff and still learning, but after my first proper blat down some quiet country roads tonight - I've come to some conclusions on the following things. 1) The brakes scare me a bit but this IS NOT a criticism and just an observation. The rear of the car twitches and moves under heavy braking and generally feels very lively. Not had the right roads yet to see what happens next. 2) Whilst the car has almost zero body roll it's very well dampened and you don't worry about hitting every little bump. 3) The Silverstone sounds purposeful on start up. It's a deep boomy slightly silky sound that hint's very clearly at it's poke. 4) 1st gear rants to the red line sound meaty and angry. BUT... I want 2nd gear to be exactly the same - and why it should be tuned a little. I agree about NA tuning and look forward to seeing what the new soon to launch cams will do. 5) Be warned as the car tells on you after you've been driving fast and park up - the stainless steel exhaust tings and cracks proudly from your green change up lights! Anyway the car is a lot of fun and I can keep up with my buddy on the really twisty bits. The pic is a poor angle etc.. and I will try harder next time. It just shows the kind of company the 133 can chase in corners. :) [/QUOTE]
