they are quick .. compared to a ford Ka

but come up against a saxo VTs or similar at the lights and prepare to be embarrassed

My cammed Saxo vts spanked vr6's  :grin:

A standard 16v and vts are very similar. 16v will win after 120mph but when do you get to that speed racing on b roads?

I got spanked by a saxo vts off the lights in my Leon 1.8t.....good power to weight ratios but they drive so horribly!! Driven a valver but that was in an Mk3 Ibiza Cupra and that was seriously quick up the gears.

The op refered to 70 mph in 5th and not top speed in that gear,so if you were ringing its neck (driving it properly),at "70 mph" you would have just changed up to 3rd  :wink:

Not really worth fitting tbh.
