why if my furio slower tan a quick silver?

  1. #1
    i was allways sure that the sax furio and te 106 quicksilver had the same engine therefore the same power.

    howerver of the past few week two of my mates have bought a 106 and they are much faster

    does anyone know why?

    is it because of restrictions that i cannot see?

    thanks

    Are theres completely standard? Definetly the same models?

    And thers might have less milage, and been maintained better. But that wouldnt amke a huge differnece. :Wacko:

    i dont know why but quicky's seem to respond better to slight modfications than the furio. if they are all standard then it could be you have a build up of shit in your injectors and shism give her a full service and see after that

    When the 106s where being tested, wasnt it done with a full tank, luggage and a passenger, to make it slower to keep in the inusrance down? When in reality it was a bit quicker?

    havnt got clue

    Yeah peugeot seem to quote higher figures than is actually true. So a 0-60 time of 11 seconds, would most likely be about 10.5.

    a quickshitter and a furio should be the same speed...both 75bhp.

    Like somesaid above, give yours a full service. Did you both have the same amount passengers?
  8. #8
    All depends on what mods have been done, even alloys will affect the performance
  9. #9
    Quickies are lighter also as stated above depends how its been maintained and milage
  10. #10
    Or you're a shit driver.

    does parkers not give drag racing tips?

    maybe he can stand by his furio with a good pose.

    But we all know its not how you stand by your car, its how you race your car.

    either your lewis hamilton or the VTR's are fucked.

    or your version of keeping up is them pulling away.

    rolling start at 30 to 70 and you were neck and neck with a VTR?
  22. #22
    just get a 16v engine in and your problems solved
  23. #23
    Hmm dunno dude, they should be very similair in pace.

    All sounds a bit fishy. Remember, no one likes the tuna here.

    VTR gear ratios are shocking, wrong gear at wrong speed = now power in the car imo

    aslong as you keep it at or above 4k your usually ok tbh

    under 4k at anything over 2nd gear and ti can get a little sluggish

    Give yours a full service if both cars are standard. If your cars been ragged or badly maintained full service may restore lost power

    Also my thoughts exactly, 20-25bhp more depending upon model of vtr!

    stick them both on a dyno, will rule out which has more power, even if the dyno reads high/low, the results will still be relative if you do the runs of each car one after the other. Will also rule out being a shit driver/weight differences.

    No need to race on public roads either m8. What u gotta prove?

    Citroen Saxo

    Keep it real.
    There’s nothing more rewarding than pulling up at the lights and winding up
    A fellow-boy-racer.
    You’ll find these tips very useful indeed.
    When you pull up at a red light, you’ll no doubt have encountered the stereotype boy-racer from time to time. Especially on a Friday evening.
    These types are very typical. And can often be spotted due to the traits they employ.

    1 silly baseball cap.
    2 silly baseball cap turned wrong war around.
    3 revving menacingly.
    4 the ’I’m well hard' stare.
    5 the over loud cheap stereo turned up extra loud accompanied by the lack of music taste.
    6 windows all wound down and leaning out the window. to see if anyone's watching.
    7 eyeing up the girls on the corner who just aren’t interested in him whatsoever.
    8 over priced stuck-on back-box giving off the sound of a formular1 car that needs urgent attention!

    The trick is.. To rev up your Saxo at the same time as him in response to his feeble attempts to get your goat up.
    Make it look as if your ready to race him all the way to Niagara Falls, and when the lights turn green hold back!! Do not race him. He will no doubt fall for the trick and race off like a bat out of hell. Racing ..Himself!
    This will make him look very foolish and ridiculous indeed.
    I use this ploy all the time. And I can tell you the laugh and sheer joy of the end product is well worth the effort.
    Your engine will still be running long after his has taken up residence at the dump!

    Hope this helps..steve.

    on a serious note what colour is your car

    as everyone knows silver cars are faster than any other colour
    being quickies they will be silver
    so unless you have a silver furio your bound to loose

    being as everyone else is being a spaz

    Ahhh but I've heard your allowed to street race as long as you follow this script before engaging in any race:


    Quote:
    You: Hey, wait, hold up! I don't have any cash, but I do have the pink slip to my car.

    Your Friend: Wait, you just can't climb in the ring with Ali 'cause you think you box!

    You: [point to some meathead] He *knows* I can box! So check it out, it's like this: If I lose, winner takes my car clean and clear. But if I win, I take the cash, *and* I take the respect!

    cant understand why quiksilver is that much quiker??? must be your driving ?? i beat a quiksilver hands down all the time in my westcoast when my backbox had fallen off and he had some 'performance one' so either my car is really fast or maybe yours is being held back abit.

    get it serviced
    clean your injectors
    check tyre pressures
    then if that dont work
    buy a vts engine and don't tell them
    do a quick swap and then blow them away

    or easier learn to drive lol
