Back to the 1st question.. The Saxo VTR isn't too hot and fairly beatable, but the VTS is different. I had an
"R" plate for a year and remember reading the spec at the time in different magazines and its 0-60 varied from 7.2-7.6 seconds depending on the review. I know 0-60 isn't everything but for a traffic light grandprix it is! So you need to be faster than approx 7.4s 0-60 to smoke one.. Takes a fairly quick motor! For anyone that doesn't know, theres absolutely no way to tell a VTS from a VTR from the back or front, you can only tell by the side badge near the front wheel arch and the 16V silver badge on the rear side pillar (VTR=1.6 8v 100bhp, VTS=1.6 16V 120 bhp). Happy racing fellas!

The original mk1 golf gti was very light, it had 110bhp, 0-60 was about 8 sec.
You need a lot of power to get a 7 sec or less 0-60, or good gearing.

I'm hoping mine will be under 7 seconds with 230bhp. Thinking of removing everything non-essential to save weight
