Think the saxo has done well concidering the age difference and engine differences???

yes and camming it... will see it drop into the 6 second mark...

I dont class the scoob as a 'hot hatch', more of a quick saloon tbh

stick a turbo on a saxo or 106 like most of the other cars there then put it redo the test lol

well some of these cars do have quicker modles aswell like the scooby 4.4 secs and the s3 3.5 ect but it was just a rough guide to see whats what

theres only one 1.6 sililar to the vts thats quicker and thats the corsa vxr bearing in mind its turbo'd and is years newer

i think a boosted vts would wipe the floor with very car in that list.

but as a stndard car i think it does pretty well tbh.

I should be around high 5s, very low 6s according to craigs results ;)

very interesting, hot hatches have become very fast. altho, surely there is a limit? i mean for the FWD car you dont want over 250 BHP. alot of people look into 0-60 times way too much, its handling and fun factor for me.

but alex, your power band is much broader than a normal vts so it wouldnt just gain from 0-60 but gain everywhere by loads.what do you predict to do 0-100 in alex?

Dunno but it won't be up with the 2.0 turbo guys once they get into their stride at higher speeds. With the diff and slicks though it will be plenty capable in the twisties.

Got some nice ideas for next year though seeing as i'm near the limit of n/a, what's the point in spending £1.5k for another 10bhp when i could sell the engine and start over again for a good amount more ;)

thought focus ST's would of been quicker than civic type r

The VTS has a great engine and really can hold its own with some of the bigger players!

Being able to hit 60 in 2nd gear (just) is a big advantage. I remember the media hype when the Saxo was first launched.... everyone was banging on about it! :A:

The newer breads are obvisouly more refined and more advanced, but the VTS is still great! Its a pity its gearbox is so $hite after a few miles :P

ahh i see, i think, your thinking about going the same route im thinking lol.


simo, what figures have you got for your car?

Tut Tut Tut!

Only official 0-60 I have is from years back before some changes were made. The car back then made 6.08s.

As a comparison, Ive just Bought a Megane F1 R26, which is booked similar. The T-VTS feels much more raw and in some respects it feels quicker. But in high gears and also low revs, the Meg has mucg more torque (feels that way anyhow).

My VTS only has a tiny blower though - never got around to fitting the new one... yet :P

i see, my work buddy has a megane r26, such a nice car all round.
how much power is your atw? you have a t25 on there dont you?

T2 iirc?

With a quaife diff and slicks i'm sure simos vts t would be quite a bit quicker off the line...

T2 on... T25 in the shed waiting lol.

Gearbox cant handle the lug drive clutch, especially on launches. Quaiffe seems the only sensible option :(

I dont wanns fit the bigger blower until the transmission is fettled.

To be fair, the cars now running approx. 0.25bar more boost than when that time was recorded, so should be quicker.

Rolling road figures are guess work. THe only figures Ive trusted are those of GMC, but some people dont agree with their methods either. Couple of years ago, it consistantly made 190@wheels.

so i think you should see a sustantial increase in power with your new blower.
my quiafe is getting done in a month or two,a must with any boosted/high n/a power saxo imo.

i think with some sticky tyres and a lsd i recon a boosted saxo like simos could get below the 5 sec barrier.

iv seen a saxo vts turbo with whatever eles done that does 0-60 in 4.4 on youtube

link please?

its from turkey its shows you the fake one first in black and white then the reall 1

Saxo is much lighter than the later cars!

03 vts is 7.8 apperantly..

Subaru Impreza isn't a 'Hot Hatch'.

Chris :)

Wouldn't go by manufacturers book 0-60 figures. Each have different methods, like full tank, half tank, shopping no shopping, passengers etc. 60-100+ is where its at anyway! :P

Saxo is a great little base car, all this 'my cammed vts will keep up' talk... Cam the others in the list, then see. Treat the cars as standard. Serious question, as Ive never encountered one will a cammed VTS pull like a 182/CTR after 100+? Will camming it give it top end grunt? I wanted to do it to my GTi before I bought the 182...

1- if it's the new Impreza it kind of is IMO
2- usually factory figures are crap

You know the GTI-R owns all haha

Well in that case the 2.0L does 0-60 in 9.3secs, not 6.1. The 2.5L does a 0-60 of 6.3 or the 2.5L STI does 5.0.

Chris :)

Missing the Mazda 3 MPS too
257bhp 5.8s 0-60

Exactly that i was thinking through this thread!

There's no point saying 'if the VTS was turbo'd/cammed/TB'd etc etc' how well it would do against standard cars, you could say that about any!

But yeah..

The saxo does hold it's own i nthe list. Might not be so great if we were to go by safety rating..

book times are pants indeed... mine is 9.1ish... but many have been recorded high 7's to average of low to mid 8's. for get 0-60 its about rolling starts :p 20-60, 40-100 ha :D. tut tut for not adding any of the 20v turbos on the hot hatch list :P (ibiza cupra etc :) :P)

:panic: lol
