whats to say you cant build a saxo with that much power?
how reliable is a heavily modded engine?
too much power isnt that good in a small car
0standard for standard - VTS pisses on it on track, it's a good handling car with readily avaliable torque
theres a lot more to building a winning car than just a powerful engine..

500bhp starlet??
nope, not on the 4efte or the 5efte
i believe 448 is the highest, but there is one in the north east running 3sgte, and another down south, pushin 500
a standard starlet gt aint as bad handling as people go on
its always people whove never driven the cars, who from hearsay, say there shite. a standard starlet, with a ARB, adjustable panahrd rod, and coilovers, will be as good on track as a vts, not to mention the power of starlet compared to the vts for the same cash
personally, i would go for a starlet GT (as i own one) and i dont like the glanza that much. my car is standard,then i spent £600, and its 190bhp, alot of them come standard with a LSD, will put the power down no probs, no lag, full boost at 3k rpm, and would tank a vts in a str8 line or track, would only really be worth playin with a vts on bodies, and that would have to be a well setup one, or a turbo'd one, but the £££ it cost to set a VTS up turbo'd, not where i would put my money.
you can buy a decent starlet for 2k, and 4k will get you a forged TD04 setup running 300bhp
but then again, on this website, everyone is gunna say, get a VTS, because after all, its a saxo website
it depends on your budget, a ibiza cupra is a good shout aswell.
