    Older cars are faster than nawer ones!

    My 1998 saxo vts goes like stink,the CATS gone AWOL! its got a S Spec induction filter, Janspeed back box, and puts so many so called modern day hot hatches to shame, why? cos every thing these days is safety this, emissions that,CO2 that, its a proper hot hatch, they dont make 'em like this no more.

    Nice motor mate, have the 02 VTS model myself, not done much modding wise only have a supersprint cat back system, will be D-Cat by next weekend

    and i agree it does put most big 2.0L cars to shame, and the look on peoples faces is priceless as you boot it past them in a saxo haha

    as to the untrained eye they all look like the same Yes

    end of the day the factor that gives a sxo such an edge is its weight i think (off the top of my head) that the factory standard weight is under a ton aroun 800Kg which is nothing, so hence why it smokes most cars of its size and keeps up if not gives bigger cars a go for their money, its basically a coke can on wheels, i wouldnt want to crash in mine tho LOL!

    main reason why it has a bad reputation, is because of what it is you get loads of fucking gary boy pricks driving them tryin to race everyone, and end up crashing them

    hence the high insurance groups and insurnace companies not wanting to insure people on them!

    if you look on youtube under saxo crash you see some guy who had a saxo VTsomething lol it shows you the car before (quite nice) then after. which is about 4 inches of twisted metal thus proving your point. the prim's nippy but not fast as such tho it handles like a dream but the sheer weight of it slows it down. is a saxo lighter than a corsa tho does anyone know?

    Re: Older cars are faster than nawer ones!

    funny you ask, a corsa was my first car and i can safely say the Saxo is lighter

     

    saxo 882Kg (1.6)

    Corsa 1117Kg (1.2)

    Re: Older cars are faster than nawer ones!

    sorted, my mates got a 52reg mini cooper S (178Bhp) and my saxo stays with it to well over a ton. I used to have a 1992 Uno Turbo which was again more than capable of embarrasing so called fast cars, that had the same power as my current saxo but wheras my saxo's mostly top end the Uno had bottom end, mid range and top end, it was wicked,lost my license in it tho, which was shit.Was looking to get a Punto GT Turbo before i got the Saxo but couldnt find a good one,my Saxo is an immaculate standard example, 2 previous owners FSH 48K miles,i just had to get it,otherwise some daft little yeah boy would have bought it and put loads a stupid fast and furious body kit on it and just made it look shit.Im not into all that crap just a nice set of alloys and exhaust does it for me, under the bonnet is where its atWink
