vtr is 8 valve 90ish bhp

Early VTR's were 90bhp... there now 98bhp (quoted as 100Bhp)

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.
I don't think u can judge a car buy the amount there r of it on the road,if thats the case,golfs wud b way sh!te!
Vtrs/or vts's r quick cars,bollox to anyone who says they aren,even thou they r french.Ur talking speed not build,reliabilty,style so aye,it will beat u,if so,put a big lumpa in ur car then kill its ass!

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
A car last as long as u long after it!Wanna a fast car,build one!Wanna a nice looking one,build oneThere is no car,old or new,what is left standard by a proper car owner these days,cos they aren what they were!Even if some stoopid nove driver just adds an induction kit!Still a mod!
I did used to rate the saxo(i know-don't say out!)cos they were the car of their time,but they r unreliable n french!

I can't understand why people think that vws are slow compared with the competition???
Golf 1.8T/V6/R32 , not exactly getting slow are they?

dinky, fair point old boy, but what i meant was a saxo wouldn necessary be considered as a boy racers car if they hadn all been bought by 17 year old snots for the free insurance. say for exapmle the clio 172, i respect them cars a lot, but if every little boy had one, i wouldnt. aint got nothing to do with how fast they are i guess, more along the lines of top gear cool wall eh?

the problem with the 1.8t, r32 and v6 4 motion golfs is not that they are slow, but if you have ever been in one (mates own r32 and another a 1800t and another r32, jammy bastids) they are stupidly fast, but dont feel it as they were built to be sooooooo smooth aswell. v6 4motion vs calibra turbo. 2 of my mates bought one of each of them, one a vauxhall boy, one a vw boy. 4 motion feels so much slower than the cally turbo when your in it, but is actually faster. bizarre.

as an ex saxo vtr owner, i hav to stick for them a little bit, i had my 96 plate for 31/2 years, an all i had to do wiv it is but new tyres a radiator an regular servises, believe it or not the best car ive had, but def aimed and suits younger boy/girl racers a golf is far more of an enthusiasts, an better built car.if i'm honest i would say that my saxo was more fun to drive than my golf! BUT  i feel tougher richer an faster in the golf ;D

Its all better now very shiny, but now the windows have gone again! and shocks are squeaking like mice!!aarrgghhh
