w_jd_w · 10th August 2005, 06:09

jaybiss · 10th August 2005, 06:10

edit: welcome to the site

welshy2k · 10th August 2005, 06:11

hey an welcome to sax-p

basically nothing apart from a facelift

w_jd_w · 10th August 2005, 06:15

oh rite.i heard that a vtr has more break horsepower than a vts is that true?

welshy2k · 10th August 2005, 06:21

its the other way about the VTS is more powerfull than the VTR

vtr 90 bhp
vts 120 bhp

there are claims that the mk2 vtr had 98 bhp but it has never been proved.

so basically what welshey said just a facelift.

Parkers say:
Mk1 VTR 90 BHP
Mk2 VTR 100BHP
But from my experience they are about the same standard so I assume the Mk2 is 90bhp.

if the cat. is under the car, then you have the 90bhp model.

if the cat. is in the manifold, then you have the 98bhp model.

somebody did prove he had the 98bhp vtr. his name was 'Psycho' and he posted the results of his rolling road on 5th january 2004 at 11:26am

and the vts has always had 120bhp.

S9_DAN · 10th August 2005, 14:54

It is just a facelift, as the mk2 vtr is ment to have 98bhp but mk1's are just as fast if not faster in my oppinion.

DevilDamo · 10th August 2005, 14:56

if its ONLY a facelift, then why does the 'citroen saxo - technical specification' brochure confirm that the vtr has 100bhp. ok, they've rounded it up, but they wouldn't have rounded it up by 10bhp.

AARON1100 · 10th August 2005, 14:58

is having the cat in the manifold a 'good' or 'bad' thing?

Damn it!

Dan · 10th August 2005, 15:17

did anyone rolling road a mk1 vtr too? i dont think there is anything in it to be honest.

WalzVTR · 10th August 2005, 15:31

standard mk2 vtr is faster than a mk1 vtr, ive seen it in a race. I know drivers matter but in a straight line the mk2 was pulling all the time

Yates · 10th August 2005, 15:36

ive had a 2000 model of the vtr and a 2001 and the 2001 seems to be quicker. i got told that the mk 1 vtr is 90, the 2000 models of the mk2 were 90 and 20001 + are 98

Tombo · 10th August 2005, 15:36

well i dont know why but i have the silver top motor in my mk1 an have been told by shitroen that it is the 98bhp engine as it is 31st december 1999, so she a late model.

damos definatly right.mk2 is 98bhp.my mates had both and he said the 98bhp models is quicker.ive got a vtr mk2 2001 model and tho its had some engine mods ive beat a few mk1 90 bhp models off lights and that.
