Actions speak louder than words, buy a Golf & then give your mate a call 8)

rob get used to drivin your golf before you go racin otherwise they may be an accident!!!!, gettin into a mk2 8v is gonna be a big change from the 1100cc citroen ax youve got at the mo!!!!!!, yeah your gonna feel a helll of a lot faster but it dont mean your 'invinsible'!!!! seriously get used to the power and the way your car drives before you have a serious play!!, i cant endorse road racing etc, but i dont disagree with it!!!!, as long as your not one of the wonkers that does burnouts in the carpark behind my house at 2am i dont care!!! have fun and go steady!! (well to start off with!!) :D ;D

the vtr is 0-60 in 9.5 seconds (90hp) about the same as the 8v gti so its down to the driving.
vts 0-60 in 7.6 but its still a saxo

Like everyone says it's down to the driver. One of my mates hangs with me in an old clio 16v. Irritating as can be but I have to admit he can really drive that little frog motor. To me my Golf is more about style, reliability, and sheer fun. Yes it is quick but when it comes down to it there will always be someone faster someplace.

the saxo will be far faster, to rot and fall to bits. my golf is a 1985 gti mk2, i bet in 18 years time a saxo wont be anywhere nearly as good a condition.

the thing about racing is i dont consider it to be a race unless its a proper 1/4mile event or on a track. my 1/4mile and track car is a turbo nova with extra go faster goodies. round town an xr2i could probably beat me as i aint up to taking the risks.

i dont see golfs as particularly fast cars, just far superior cars. if you want to buy a car thats quick for 10 mins buy a saxo, if you want a car that will last and give you pretty much no hassle buy a golf. if every little boy hadnt bought a saxo, if you think about it they probably would be good cars, sme goes for prezza's, everyone has them so theyre crap.
