What I meant was because its a bigger car, a bigger car sometimes suits a bigger engine.


I don't know though, that's why I asked
GLA
CLA
A

All same identical engine

Internals near same also, just a few differing colours and space..

I didn't realise that was a GLA in the pic, I just thought it was a A45. (Blue one)

But still, will the 2.0 AMG engine feel right in a bigger car, or are they not that much bigger?

Did the engine last long enough for a second run??
There are lawsuits in North America now against subaru regarding the current poo.5 engines reliability.

Yep no issues, it did runs all day long, got its neck rung by a pro driver, still beat the 45 with 100? more bhp and a trick gearbox

I'm not even going to respond as between you, Carnut and Mattee....... you've sucked the life force out of me over the past few days. I had an easier time when I was co-running this place!!

Bioforger,
In fact I will say something (I can't resist )......

You do realise your moment of glory track times are based on a CLA Saloon not an A45 Hatchback!

Don't let some minor detail like that get in the way of your fun though.

So what? yes of course i realised and it IS a minor detail, couldn't have put it better myself! It's only 30kg heavier than the hatch, still the same engine/box which is what you ****** are raving on about, both the CLA 45 AMG and the A45 have the same "claimed" 4.6 0-62mph time I think I'll have to mark this retort down as a fail Shaun

Just admit it the 45 was out handled by the superior STi! fact

i guess with the CLA 45 being so porky that wouldn't have helped very much.

The CLA maybe heavier by 30kg over the A45 but what YOU didn't know was the Subaru had 2 bags of 20kg dog food in the boot that belonged to one of the camera men.

Perhaps Bioforger has been eating too much dog food, as he clearly doesn't really understand how relative body shape and mass changes have on drag co-efficiency. Or of course the difference in wheel track. Basically he has no basic understanding about vehicle dynamics whatsoever.

Perhaps he needs to upgrade his dog food to Pedigree Chum - that Aldi crud is obviously eating his brains up.
