    I have got a saxo vts on a 2000 plate, and its toltal standard apart from a panel filter. But earlyer i was driveing back home and me mate cme beside in his 182 clio, and we where side byside. I just wanna know if anyone else can keep with one, because i carnt believe it how it kept with it. Cheers.

    He wasn't trying, there is no way a standard VTS can keep up with a 182.

    Still though, i read that most 182s don't make that figure and when you take that into account along with the power to weight then it equals about 160bhp which is still enough to beat a VTS without pushing it too hard.

    Have you had the car dynod?

    Could have been cammed / remap / ported and polished head etc but it's rare you find these mods without changes to the air filter setup and exhaust.

    VTS's weigh 965kg

    depending on what speed you were at it's possible to seemingly "keep up" with a 182.

    they are however much better car's than a saxo, and at higher speeds will be quicker.

    if he tried pulling in the wrong gear at the wrong speed, then that'd have a massive emphasis on what happens.

    edit: it's only ever saxo owners that think theyre car's quicker those who have owned both will always side with the clio

    I really couldnt care less about what you and your mates get up to...

    this questions been asked hundreds of times, saxo owners will always think their car's quicker. people that have owned both know that the clio's not just quicker, but a better car all round.

    Depends on what cams, what remap and what other modifications you have done.
