The spec is excellent even better then most new cars but then Renaults have always been better spec for the price then any other car manufacture that they compete against.
The spec of the car is:-
0 to 60 8sec,
Top Speed 121mph,
Brake Horse Power 110,
Weight 955kg,
Pounds Feet of Torque 155,
Power to weight ratio 115bhp per ton.
(These Performance Spec's are from the Renault Clio Brochure 1990 - 1993)
The 0-60 run I have done myself and my mate with a video tape can prove it. So in other words its like shit off a shovel it is ace to drive, its hard to find the limit when cornering as it just grips like hell, although I have had the back end out on a wet large roundabout it was fun.
Haha, genius!

The ones I am most impressed with is the ones I could keep up with in a straight line and in cornering (It was fun, but hard work) were:-
Porsche Boxster
Volkswagen Corrado VR6
Looking at the specs of these cars, there isn't much in it between my RSi and those cars, my power to weight ratio is probably the reason for being able to keep up with them, with it being 115bhp per ton
Hahaha
This guy is a genius!

"Once I passed my test I started adding things too it but only cosmetic things, the things I did add over time were:-
Rear spoiler,
Chrome wheel trims (which after 12 months got be replaced by 14" TSW Venom alloy wheels),"
Should have left std wheel trims on it.
