Hmmmmmm ??? They have both gone around the Top Gear track too !!! Which one did it fastest ???

 

[GT]

My money is on the ZT... Lazy V8 with 260Ps and 410Nm of torque!

 

[edmondsonwoodbridge]

ZT 0-60 6.2 Seconds, also rear wheel drive so no need to slow down at corners.

 

[Hob]

+ mg doesnt have vtech so you dont have to thrash it to get it going

 

[Stu]

How on earth can you even compare these cars?

One is a hot hatch and the other is designed as a lazy V8 cruiser.

 

[mgmti]

Probably a good old MG Maestro Turbo.

No one said anything about comparison, Richy simply asked which one did the track quicker. End of.

 

[Stu]

True,

Just seems two very odd cars to compare.

 

[kabash]

love the type r but i rekon the zt

 

[blaps_los]

i voted, type r

 

[Shifty]

depends on what your racing them on


a track with corners Type R

drag ZT

 

[amoeba]

Do you want to know the times, or wondering what peoples perceptions are?

Honda Civic Type R - 1.36.5
MG ZT - 1.33

This is from the top gear website!

 

[sfalcus]

straight line = zt by a mile!
track = zt, not by that much but comfortably!


hot hatch vs 4.6 v8 beast!

beast wins!

RWD should be better on corners than FWD if it's set up properly and driven by someone who can actually drive (because I'm pretty sure the stig is ex-touring car and therefore doesn't know anything about driving a RWD car!).

 

[muz]

ZT should be faster by about 2 seconds then the civic then my car a further 2 seconds behind

Evo has done all three round a wee test track

 

[misty]

i wonder where a zsv6 would feature in the times

 

[The Hooded Claw]

Mine beats the crap outta BOTH of Em !!!.....................End of !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Express Valeter]

Dunno which is quickest, but I do know which one I would sooner have/Oh have got!

 

[Mitchy]

Honda Civic Type R - 1.36.5
MG ZT - 1.33

This is from the top gear website!

The CTR has posted a 1:32.8 and is quicker round the track than the ZT260.

The 1.36.5 time was on a wet test track and was the early type r. The 04 facelifted car definitely got a 1:32.8.

The website has not been updated for ages and is wrong!
