read this post :
http://www.renaultalpineownersclub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2145&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
and then ask some questions.
"R27?" I guess you have some sort of hot-Megane, that would be most suitable for sprinting.

just drive it on the road then.... :lol:

as it's so heavy and the power to weight ratio isn't great it wouldn't be much good on a sprint course.... :wink:

bring it to our next proving day in the new year and test it's performance :twisted:

Don't miss the point Andy, sprinting is more about beating your last time than beating other cars.
