good ? and a debatable scenario

[westy2k1]

First of all what is simo's vts turbo's 0 - 60???


Scenario....simo is mindin his own business on the motorway cruisin down to a show or sumthin, an arrogant m3 driver decides to show off his 338 horses

what would be the outcome of a race between simo's saxo and the m3.

[grantsmith1985]

I have seen loads of turbo saxo vids whooping ass on 1/4 miles strips against M3's. Might have just been the fact that the driver of the M3 was a granny driver or something. smileys/smiley5.gif

i think the 0-60 is just under 6secs.

[rsands]

woow thats quick!

[Gav]

i think the m3 would win as they can get a lot more top end. think they do 160 to 180. dont quote me on that tho.

[Sean]

it'd be close if both floored it in 3rd gear, but agree as above^^^^ the m3 would pull away top end.

[Scott]

in gear the saxo would rip away but would get reeled in eventually. Look at the saxo m3 vid, the m3 gets pelted in midrange and even passes it from a standing start

[westy2k1]

hmm interesting asnswers, id expect the saxo to be quicker than that to 60 tho, id of thort more like 5 secs considering how light it is and with 200+ bhp thats gotta shift!

ive read a few posts on other websites about the top speed of the vts, apparently the vts with adequate (or however u spell it) power with a vtr bottom end can top 165mph i think i saw a tuned vts for sale sumwere with a spare vtr bottom end for high top end. neone???

oh and @ scott...where the m3 vid plz?

[Yates]

go to search saxo v m3 and i think it should come up

[Sean]

vts with vtr gearbox will hit 163mph on the limiter in 5th if it has the power to get there.

[westy2k1]

thought so, cheers scott. smileys/smiley2.gif

[Gav]

130 is that what a standard vts will do with vts gearbox?

[westy2k1]

no i had a 1997 vts...i had 140 out of it once on the way back from hull. (did have a slight downhill section) but i could always get 135 no question. i also got a true 132mph that was with a road angel 2 in my car.

if anyone questions the "had" i had to sell it because i owned it when i was 19 and couldnt afford the insurance and the house i bought together. getting another one definately when i can afford it thought they are amazin cars.

ill never forget the looks on those snotty business mens faces when a little saxo whooped there flash audi's or bmw's!! haha

[Scott]

a standard vts with a vtr gear box would never manage the 160 in a million years. It has to have a bit more oomph behind it to hit the 163

[tgazvtr]

simo's saxo was timed at 6.02 secs i think corect me if im wrong.

[mr_tphil]

I've got a '52 reg vts. It'll easily do 130mph with the standard box.

[Scott]

it will easily do 141mph with the standard box if you have the power to get to it
