there is no standard clio sport anywhere near quick enough to come from behing to ten lengths in front in a quick side by side,the new 197 is no quicker than the outgoing 182 because its 150 odd kilos heavier.
The quickest in a straight line was the mk1 172 cup and even that in a straight drag race will only pull a few lengths .The car you came across was very modified!.
