the 1.1s are nippy cos their lightweight, with short ratios..

not understanding where people are getting 113mph from a standard 1.1 tho tbh, even citroen state its 102.. (down a hill maybe)

plus the 1.1 would never get to 113 on track since it would take about a year so where did you get this figure


what the clock shows is not the true speed also

we know that, ive actually got it to the end of the clock after about 5 miles flat out on the M6 on the way back from the lakes. no word of a lie. can easily touch 100 on a daily drive! one day if i get the equipment i'll prove it!

but then again it is LOADS more fun on B roads

my saxo tends to get to about 102 then starts to shake!!
the manual says it can get to 101 so its about right so theres no way it can get to 113 or what ever people are saying here. unless they have been doing some serious modifiying

You can put a induction kit in it
& exhaust & what ever

Theres still no getting away that it is a 1.1 unless you get a VTR engine and stick it in there. that would be good
