She does and I dont think there would be a great deal in it but the CTR would probably have the edge but once your past 60 the saxo has had it.

The CTR is a thousand times better than the Saxo though regardless of this 0-60 rubbish.

[platty]

i think thats about end of for this rant!

saxo vs ctr


ctr all the way!

Sounds about right..

[olivts]

i timed my vts the other night afew times, its only got 4-1 manifold,decat and straight through pipe and i was getting 7.0-7.4 so say around 7.2 ish.

Well it may be a 0-60 thread, but you all covered some answers I was going to ask anyway.

The car in question (CTR) is this beast, granted this may not be mine, nore another like it untill I can afford it, but after reading most of the thread, I think it would be worth the wait??:

Twin Air Bags, Power Steering, Electric Windows, Electric Mirrors, Central Locking, Air Condition, CD Player, Red Recaro Interior, Red Carpets, 15" Light Weight Alloy Wheels, Stainless Steel Exhaust, 4 Branch Manifold, Rear Privacy Glass, Boot Spoiler, Totally Standard Example Of This Very Rare EK-9 TYPE-R JDM MODEL

I liiiike!

[MaRiO89]

defo worth the wait.. Its not just about the speed, its the drama and thrill of VTEC etc..

[hesslevtr]

i love them

there was 1 around here the other day sounded awsome

if anyone says get a vts over that they have problems and shouldnt be listened to

[Sean]

I'd have one of those over a saxo any and every day of the week, despite the vts being a supercar slayer. Go for it danny, you'd be silly not to

[MaRiO89]

lol @sean..

[dannyjay]

Looks like I may have to get my self one! Like i said I may not even be able to get it untill next year, but like you have all said. It will be worth the wait!!

[hesslevtr]

be worth it though dannyboy

[MaRiO89]

another good thing is they are soo reliable.. you could rev them out all day long to 8500 rpm with no oil in the engine and would run sweet..(slight exaggeration)

Also my bro's 04 model wont let you rev it anymore than 5000 rpm in neutral and wont let the VTEC kick in until its warmed up.. very good cars!

Thats what I was thinking. £3500 for a VTS. Or double that, and get a car that will last me longer, hold its value more and be much more fun/comfortable to drive/own! Also you get big brakes, air conn, bucket seats, a tonne of suspension stuff already done and with it being a fresh import, not rust etc. And they get looked after!

Can't fault my mate for getting me hooked though!

You've just roared past in a french bean can, they think hahaha bloody boyracers and relax back into the luxurious seats and listen to the stereo not a load of squeeks or rattles.

yeah ly back in there seats till there fckin brain actually click. "oh shit iv just spent fcuking uber £££ on a CTR and a little saxo is thrashing by me."

[Karl]

im still with the Ibiza Cupra - imo you would save 2k if you bought the Ibiza, and have a newer car....

[boz]

totally off topic, but i saw a new shape type r last night, it looked awesome

my vts isnt a mile behind my mates ctr, but his defo has the edge. specially after 70 - 80 then the gap gets alot bigger lol

[Scottp]

VTEC can bite a turbos low/mid range grunt til the cows come home. Needing to thrash the car to get it moving is going to be great for day to day driving

Plenty of better alternatives to the CTR that actually handle as well.

As for the saxo vs ctr arguement, might as well compare an old mini and a focus ST. Two VERY different cars in every possible way.

[boz]

thats the only thing that puts me off them, the fact that you have to screw the nuts off it to get it too go, but when it goes its awesome lol
my mates sounds lush when its floored lol

i carnt touch him in the vts, all he has on his ctr is a filter

the vts has 120bhp and the ctr has 197bhp??

the weight difference is not that massivly different, hence the reason the ctr will always pull away.
not sure what a cammed vts would be like against one lol have a feeling that would be fun
