   you weill probably find he will hand your plumbs to you on a plate if its a race while the cars are in motion. From a standing start i would expect the vtr to win.
   
   I disagree strongly diesels rock, especially the likes of the golf gttdi 150

   i agree, my vtr is definitly quicker from standing start.his cars cack untill the turbo quicks in at 3200rpm, then it redlines at just 4500, power gone how crap.Sounds like a tracter too!!!!
   
   had a good race with a 206 gti the otha week. 206 gti wiv 140+ full magnex.there a fair bit quicker than vtrs, but the extra 40 bhp says it all.I think a vts would eat it for dinner, and the 180bhp version2 dontcha think?
   
   Power2weight n all that!!!!!!!!!

    Civic 1.6 sport my maw and dad has, think it's only a group 6, and is as fast if not faster. (vtech)
    
    Looks wise, it's the same as the CTR apart from the wheels.
    
    Correct me if this is wrong.
