135 Mph VTS

[Ash-VTR]

What would have to be done to get 135mph out of a vts?

In cost/engine terms.

Cheers,

Ash

they'll do that on the speedo as std but to get a real 135 you'll need 150-160bhp.

Standard top end is 127 IIRC. For an extra 8mph, I'd have a stab at about another 15-20bhp.

where do you intend to reach this speed? Its not difficult to get a car to reach that speed you just need the correct gearing and a bit of extra power.
To get to that speed on a short straight say at a race circuit is more challenging as you'll need to carry a lot of speed around the preceeding corner

[Ash-VTR]

I dont intend to reach that speed anywhere, just my friends looking at a saxo and the sellers claiming it can do that easily. its had exhaust system, K&N filter, been 'chipped' and remapped.

Dont really know anything else about the car.

as alex said.

GPS it read 133 but it was off the clock on the saxo, that was a spaxo with shitty breathing mods.


Why the specific speed though :S

[Ash-VTR]

lol curious as well really.

LOL. Kam can't help but think every member on here is planning to take their Saxo on a racetrack. :)

and handling, twistys ftw

id never buy a car where someone claims its got a top speed of 135 and is chipped.

IMO avoid.

[rootyboy]

i wud sooner have a car that was rapid like sub 8 secs to 100 and could go round corneres like fuck, my ax vts was like that m3 evos didnt have a chance round the old b roads

Dont forget its remapped aswell. Basically its a standard sax and on the clocks it reads 135mph.

Cammed VTSs go over the 135 so you would be looking at 140-150bhp.

vtr box?

a chip and a remap doesnt mean anything to me though. If i saw a chipped car that was also remap it would raise the question why chip something when a remap is better.

What chip is used etc...

no there is a model in the M3 range called the 'evo'

No offense, but i'd make me thing a " boy racer " has owned it! :P

Yea I know, I was being sarcastic.

[Mr_suv]

just put a vtr box on it cack acceleration but rather high and long gears does roughly 70ish in second

[rootyboy]

i meant m3s and evos but you can get a m3 evo as someone quite rightly said

[Toad]

I think the Evo version is a 3.2ltr straight 6, whereas the standard M3 is just a 3.0ltr. I'm not sure if they do this anymore, what with all these new models and stuff.
