its probably a combination of poor quality of tyres and perhaps greasy road surfaces but im not going to lie. this car will spin in second in the dry when i boot it and will try spin in 3rd in the wet. i have no reason to lie. its not like its a standard 16v either.......

yeah i supposed that's the more sensible way. but a vts isnt as cool as a sleeper, so it sort of warrants paying more and apart from that i loved putting the engine in and making something slightly different. but each to there own. alot of people will say they prefer
a VTS as it has arches but that doesn't interest me to be honest.
