Hey guys, I've just been reading 'Performance French Cars' magazine and noticed that they've done an article on putting the Clio rs200 on a rolling road. The article states that they had 217bhp from the motor? Has anyone on here got a clio rs200 and a RR read out? I know that I'm digging up the old 'does anyone here actually get the stated bhp' most of us are getting around 160bhp from the F4R motor, and I've heard that people are getting around 170bhp from the 197motor. I realise that Renault have supposedly tweaked the 197 engine slightly, but a gain of 50bhp from such little tweaks seems a little optimistic I think! I do realise that RR readings can vary from place to place and can be a little un-accurate with non-turbo'd engines, but does anyone here think that the 217bhp figure is anywhere close to the correct reading for the clio rs200?

Sorry guys for digging up the old bhp talk again, it just surprised me a little when reading that, your thoughts and input would be good?
