Seriously quick cars! with very little fettling can see over 170bhp which is plenty fast. And with a decent enough set of springs / coilovers they can handle just aswell or better than a VTS with the same setup?
VTS is ONLY 120bhp standard which in reality is piss poor. sorry to say it chaps but the glanza is 130bhp standard and weights less, even if the saxo does handle better standard you will ave to brake very late into a corner to catch up with a glanza and dream on about going past him.
Unless your colin mcrae and the person driving the glanza is going backwards.
Its a shame citroen / peugeot dont put more power or thought into theyre cars as standard, renault do and they have a massive sport line up and each one is better than any equivalent from citroen / peugeot hence why pug have given up the GTi dream and left it to people that know what theyre doing like renault and toyota.
flame me!

120BHP out of a standard 1.6 16v engine isn't that bad, especially taking in to consideration when the engine was developed. Any engine which is the same size has an array of different bits and bobs to add more power. Mainly variable valve timing. If you really think about it, its not that bad.
