iwould also assume that the starlet/glanza turbo would be easier and possible more tunable due to the face it has a turbo, things such as bigger turbo, bigger front mounted intercooler, performance waste gates and all that turbo stuff that im not too clued up on.
but too modify a clio you have to pay big money to get a 10bhp gain for example a common thing is a maxogen which are bloody expensive,decat,group n ecu and a 182 mani would be close to a bloody grand for not much gains to be honest
as far as handling even with coilies and arb a more or less standard clio wouldnt have much problem keeping with the glanzas, renault know how to make little hot hatches, but reliability and build quility is farely shoddy.
they mean nothing in real life but as said standard vs standard clio wins,a 160bhpish glanza would be ok with a clio till top end even though clios are crap,modded vs modded definatly a starlet... p.s. I've owned both.
stock for stock i would say the clio. But as soon as you start modding a gt/glanza it will be gone!. turbos are so tuneable. with little money you can up the boost to a bar and then if your still not happy you can alwyas get bigger turbos. I would imagine modding a clio engine would be very very expensive
