Megane RS225 v R26

[bignige]

Hi all,
Looking at the differences between the two cars - is the R26 quicker - if so, by how much?
I read that the R26 is more suited to track days than the 225?
For a daily drive would I actually notice much difference between the two cars?

Depends who is driving. Its hard to quantify. Lots of variable. In theory yes.

I read that the R26 is more suited to track days than the 225?

The r26 is at home as much on the road as the track. The diff makes a big difference on track.

For a daily drive would I actually notice much difference between the two cars?

Probably not , until you spanked it coming out of a tight roundabout / bend.

The diff makes the car that much better. @Brigsy commented on this at Blyton a couple of years back. You get on the power earlier and harder.

On a daily driver you wont notice much difference regarding the Lsd. If your doing trackdays then go for the r26.
