This.230 hp actually,and the stock Megane too 8,8 ,surely the driver plays a big part but that much hp is nothing to really improve the lap time by a margin or to be that much better on track.anyone would imagine it faster than a supercar at this hp compared to what it can do stock but a lot of its handling characteristics are gone.

On tuned fwd class though did much better than the 440 hp Focus RS nearly race car spec,7,59.

This would have been under 7:50 without the M3 thing getting in the way and the missed gear change soo afterwards.

Impressive.

Very impressive - sounds awesome!!

Quick car. The way it deals with the M3 and Elise is impressive.
Looks like a lot of fun and nice to see a Megane with an engine that challenges the chassis a bit.
