c2 vts slow

[n1ckx81]

I used to have a c2 by loeb and it was poo vtr's used to keep up no bother and only had a top end of like 126. I bought it brand new and was alway at the garage for "software upgrades etc..." and engine managment issues , in the end only had it 5 months they said it need a new injection ecu and i got rid of it for a clio sport nice car buy the way very fast with few mods, now ive gone back to the dark side and bought a saxo vts and its much better than the c2 i should have got one of these in the first place it says that the saxo only got a top end of 127 had mine to bought 135 though , i also had a vectra gsi msd the 2.5 one, thought that a vts would have no chance against it and it could barley keep up with my mate vts.

wat are your views.

[Bickerton]

It's not all about ragging the shit out of a car vs your mates on a road ya know

[n1ckx81]

no its bought 70% that

[gazwhittle]

130 waaaaaaaaaaaar BANG yo blud my saxo goz fast init

[rey]

no its bought 70% that

Oh dear, give up now

[J222JRA]

Im so very confused by your posts N1ckx81.

Please slow down with the posts so they make sense.

Thanks

[rey]

He's simply saying he's had his new VTS to 135mph and that a Veccy 2.5 GSi can't keep up with it.

[westie-rossi]

i think the c2 you owned was just shit, and this thread is pointless.

[Cal]

Can't really slate the lad tbh, there's threads on here all the time about what Saxo's will keep up with, what's faster etc, oh yeah... private roads, my bad lol.

[n1ckx81]

OR c2,s are shit full stop

[TU-Tuning]

C2s are quicker than they feel, but Citroen flopped with the engine. Whilst the competition were all adding boost they just improved the engine from their last cars. Not much they could do though as they'd already put all their money into the Prince engine range theyve designed with BMW. The engine is much better suited to the lighter Saxo

[westie-rossi]

c2s arent shit though ive got a vtr an its sound better than my 2 saxos ive had in the past.

[TU-Tuning]

Theyre not shit, but not great either. Like I said in another thread earlier, theyre too heavy and well built to be as fun as a Saxo/106, and lack the power and 400cc/boost to keep up with the Clio/Civic/Corsa ect crowd

[AlexR]

spk englsh?

yh m8! c2z wl slw n sxo wl fst

[tuft]

personally I think the c2 looks fucking awfull!
well done for doing 135mp on a public road by the way. your my hero

[CampDavid]

Full stops. Only ever used by the immensly gifted

[AlexR]

Paragraphs must be for the supernatural then Dampo ;)

Our C2 drives OK, i'm taking it out tonight! At least if i get crashed into then i won't end up in the morgue...

[Mr_X]

its all relative tbh.

[n1ckx81]

who said anything about public roads i never confessed to anything

[tuft]

I forgot, everyone has their private race track / air field / massive open space :y:

i do too, its called the m1.

the VTS are not as fast as the saxo VTS, not much quicker than a saxo vtr either but will always have the upper hand on the straights.

[n1ckx81]

are i failed to say though the c2 vts handle like a beast and the brakes were awsome

[Bickerton]

are i failed

Indeed

[Mr_X]

are i failed to say though the c2 vts handle like a beast and the brakes were awsome

so the handling and brakes are good on the c2?

[gazwhittle]

so the handling and brakes are good on the c2?

depends how long you wont the break pads to last had mine 12 month and the pads need changing already....

[n1ckx81]

yer thats bought all the good things i got to say bought it mine was the loeb edition too nowt even special bought it few stickers nd that

[carter]

135 in your vts was prob more like 115-120

[carter]

yer thats bought all the good things i got to say bought it mine was the loeb edition too nowt even special bought it few stickers nd that

about? or bout?

[TU-Tuning]

Yeah the brakes are immense, even though theyre not that different from saxos which I dont really get, must be something to do with the MC or servo.

They do handle well too, much easier to drive fast than a Saxo as they have ESP which keeps the nose in check. The Saxo will be quicker if driven properly though

[n1ckx81]

was the saxo that was 135 the c2 vts was almost hitting the limiter at 124

problem was u could never turn the esp of fully would always come back on if you went over 18 mph

yeh but 135 on the speedo wont be 135, more like 120-125

[n1ckx81]

yeh but 135 on the speedo wont be 135, more like 120-125

how so please explain

[carter]

how so please explain

because the speedo will be quite abit out at that speed, if you did it again with a GPS and see what the difference is.


in my work van (transit) when the speedo says in doing 90mph the sat nav says 73mph!

in my car (golf R32) with the same sat nav when the speedo says im doing 90 the sat nav says 85/86

[n1ckx81]

o well still sounds better in a tory though lol

[n1ckx81]

story missed the S

[TU-Tuning]

Its weird, both my Saxo on 306 are well off key at low speeds, when they say 40 its about 34-35. At high speeds on my private runway theyre only 2-3 mph out.

[James106]

My head hurts :( please use some good English!

So the point of this thread is.... To tell us C2's are shit because they're not good for raggin?

Bugger it! not going to buy one now :(

[n1ckx81]

what im say is the one i had was alway playing up to much eletrical shite on it to modern and the saxo more fun and alot fast

[littleracer]

OP is a prick!

135 in a vts?thatl work to about 115!

is top speed all you think about?if it is you have a slow car!

[johnnyg_vts]

He's simply saying he's had his new VTS to 135mph and that a Veccy 2.5 GSi can't keep up with it.

thats crap, the vectra gsi 2.5 is 192bhp and is rapid, not round corners but just as fast as a saxo vts in a straight line, especially top end. v6 grunt will thrash a saxo vts above 90 jellybeans.
2.5 V6 GSi
7.6 s
148 mph
192 bhp

[Bickerton]

2.5 V6 GSi

2.6 mpg ;)

By the sounds of it because you ragged the shit out of the poor thing.

[johnnyg_vts]

2.6! thats optimistic lol

wat are your views.

Yeah, had a top speed of 127 in its hayday, but probably lost a few horses since then matey, and as said, speedo's are generous.

[n1ckx81]

the gsi kept up but hardly for what it was got to 110 and still didnt gain on it but the saxo has a 4-2-1 manifold plus decat and bmc induction kit
