Welcome to the forum. You're definitely going from one end of the 'sporty'car spectrum to the other
This thread should give you a good overview of the differences

Also be sure to register your Trophy or update the details if the previous owner has already done so.
I always wanted to zip around the Antrim Coast Road in the Trophy but haven't done so, guess I can just live vicariously through you :lol:

Hi irish boy!!

Welcome to the site... post a thread in the owners register for your car number and we'll give you an extra Trophy owner star.

Got any pics of the srt-10 and the Trophy together?!

[duffer987]

Nah, used to live in Dublin and have friends in Donegal. sm_wrc is from up your way somewhere I think.
When I heard SRT I thought it was the Dodge Viper, not the pickup...that thing must be a handful in the wet...dry...corners etc... :wink:

 

[fazedesign]

That thing is a beast - i bet the Trophy would almost fit in the back of it!!

Welcome to the forum!

To find some official blub on the 182 and the Trophy, have a look at - http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/heritage/

If you have a look at eBay, you could probably get hold of one the DVD's that Renault produced when they released the Trophy.

This is funny, just been a post about the Dodge Viper Truck, you might think the Trophy is good in the corners but the Truck was better (faster anyway)! Not my cup of tea though, I'm more Graham Chapman than Donald Rumsfeld.

Welcome to the site, haven't had a mick on here yet, who exported it? Go to the Owner's section and make a new thread titled with yor number, then get the owner status.

Main difference over a 182/182 Cup is it's much, much faster, more exclusive and the body shell is all titanium and carbon fibre, engines said to put out at least 70 more horsepower too. Suspension from the Lunar Rover and brakes from a Racing Lorry.

No, not really, apart from the seats just some fancy dampers from the Cup racers and a good set-up for B-roads, 10mm lower at the front, Speedline Turini wheels and a V6 Spoiler. Only comes in Capsicum Red too.

I thought you said it was yours? The number is on the plaque on the driver's seat base. Go and have a look and then register it on here, the tax benefits alone are worth the time!

lol am i missing something - my financial adviser never mentioned that I could claim tax allowence against registering on CT..... I'll ask him when i see him :twisted:
