0-100mph saxo vtr vs saxo vts

25th June 2011, 00:04

was just wondering i knw the vts is quicker to 60 and will be to 100mph but does anybody know how many seconds its quicker to 100mph than the vtr both standard. cheers.

25th June 2011, 00:06

no one on this site, would dare to go over the speed limit.

100 mph, what on earth is that type of speed? time travel? are you crazy?!

25th June 2011, 00:08

for track days mate

25th June 2011, 00:09

Have owned both. Don't know exactly but I'd guestimate around 10 seconds. The VTS is noticeably quicker than the VTR and even upset a mate's S2000 on a few occasions, the VTR didn't....

25th June 2011, 00:10

thank you m8 jheeez dont know why tonto_vtr was being soO angry

25th June 2011, 00:12

don't think he was being angry, pretty sure he was joking ;-)

i will remember that pal,lol hay funny cunts are sumtyms gud to hav around

25th June 2011, 00:19

The VTR is fine in isolation but once you get to around 100mph (on private runways or the Autobahn) they lose interest. The VTS is happy to keep on going though and I even saw 135mph on the Sat Nav once

25th June 2011, 00:21

right enough is enough im gna sell my vtr to get a vts especially now my insurance is cheap, i thought thr wasnt much of a difference but every1 says vts is sooO much quicker than the vtr..

but its still not massively quick... or fast imo.

people are soo deluded about the performance of a VTS these days

25th June 2011, 00:24

tru and it is hard to find one that hasnt been thrashed about i mean thats what they are thr 4... i knw that the vtr has a more reliable engine tho the 8v is gud and less noisy than the 16v

25th June 2011, 00:27

of course it's not 'massively' quick but for what it is, it keeps up with a lot of supposedly much quicker cars. It's not just the straight line speed, but the fact they are so much lighter than most cars these days, which helps round the corners and under braking too.

I've had a 280bhp Impreza, a 231bhp Z4 and a Clio 182 yet the VTS never felt much slower than them.

By the way, my mate's S2000 is quicker but it takes a while for him to get past. Stick a few more mods on the VTS and you'd keep up with a car like that anywhere.

youre mate cant drive for shit then, clearly.

and, the saxo FEELS fast, because of its compact size

25th June 2011, 00:39

actually he can... I expect you've never had a race against one or ever driven one so you comment doesn't hold much water.

Take a VTS to a track and you'll be surprised what it keeps up with...

Second this. Not alot keeps up with my mates VTS tbf, even though it's had alot of work spent on it. Obviously there are much faster cars, but just depends which cars we're talking about!

iv driven more cars than youve had hot dinners. no an s2k isnt fast either, but its still faster than a fucking vts ffs. its a fucking small 1.6 hatch, not a fucking porsche, its not a PERFORMANCE car, what it is with every cunt on this site thinking they are the best thing fucking ever?!

230 bhp to a vts 120
1200 kilo to 900 kilo - 300 kilo wont make that much difference to something that can rev twice as hard, and have 110 more ponies.
a saxo runs out of puff, ALOT sooner than the s2k, that will just keep pulling and pulling to the redline, where the saxo will stop pulling from pretty much pulling away.

unless your a fat cunt. but you obviously not fat in your super fast saxo...

mates got one, not been on "quick" bikes for a while, took it to 140mph from a standing start, that was quick enough for me, not scared of the speed/acceleration, but when youve not had much play in a while it does take you back just how quick they do get your foot in the coffin

oh aye!
its a shame soo many people lack respect for the performance of such small engines! even if they dont like bikes, you cant argue about the immense design of these things!
i didnt ride mine for 6-7 months when the bad weather kicked in over winter, jumping back on it was abit of a shock tbh! now ive done a few things to her, its just all full blown shits and giggles, 110mph wheelies, and the noise from bouncing off the limiter at 17500Rpm is unbeatable!

just need to try and up and smoothen out the power curve a tad, and it will be highly impressive.

25th June 2011, 01:28

bikes through and through tbh mate, i LOVE cars but bikes are just special, not a feeling ive experienced yet that even comes close to opening up a bike you have feelings for, anyone who loves a car and slates a bike has either never ridden one or is scared of them -FACT

25th June 2011, 02:25

A standard VTS vs an S2000? I had a play with one in my 182 and its a much quicker car once up in the vtec rpms, so vs a standard vts it'd be no contest

Lol....he has a car that is quicker than a saxo, and a bike that will hit 100 quicker than you can put your car in gear.
Saxo's aint quick, they are nippy at best, handle ok and make decent track toys for little money.
Unfortunatly thats about it.

Lad above, yes this is a saxo forum, but alot of members have been on here for a good few years and moved on to bigger and better things.
The vts is the top model yes, but its by no means the 'dogs bollocks'.

good driver in both. s2k will shit on a saxo.

and looks cooler than the saxo whilst doing it too.

and a Z4 not feeling as quick as a saxo with 321bhp? are you crazy? went to the ring last year in a z3m (same engine) and it was el rapido. far quicker than any saxo i've owned / been in.

saxos are great cars for the money. i've loved all of my french tins. but that doesn't justify pure delusion from a lot of members on here that seem to think that theyre the best handling car, and can surpass many bigger powered cars on track. Don't get me wrong, a saxo with just decent tyres brakes and suspension can keep up with a lot of cars, but a lot of it comes down to how easy the saxo is to drive quickly in comparison to a big powered rwd car.

- Who cares what he drives/rides. I've been on quicker rollercoasters than his bike but I don't go on bike forums slagging off their performance...

- How do you define quick, everyone has different ideas about what's quick and what isn't? 0-60 in just over 7 seconds is quicker than average...

- I didn't say it was the dogs bollocks. Just that it's impressive for what it is, i.e. a cheap, small engined hatchback.

It's amazing how many people slag off Saxos on a Saxo forum...

lol... I can assure you i don't have dyslexia.

Regardless; 231bhp is still virtually double the saxos power. and the z4 will enventually eat it (especially on a track) with ease.

Standard for standard, a Z4 will be lapping the ring for example nearly a minute quicker with equal ability drivers.

Driver difference plays such a massive part. Saxo's are easy to drive quick and look like a hero. the same can't be said for a bigger rwd car for example. something else is that is over looked is smoothness of the drive, a VTS is very peaky, theyre useless as a 'quick' car below 4k revs, and thus feel quick above it. My current car is running 230bhp with similar torque figures, and although it weighs over 300kg more than my VTS, i know the latter isn't anywhere near as quick....

Either way. i know i'd rather not sit in a french tin when i could have the option of a better built car, with mod cons, quicker and smoother to drive.

Is a raceland manifold worth the buy at a fairly decent price and good guarantee or are there better ones for also a decent price ?

Just thought id try changing the topic ;D lol

25th June 2011, 15:16

You have to take saxos for what they are, they are good cars considering they are only a 1.6 n/a engine, and they are "quick"....quick for a 1.6 engine, enjoy your car for what it is

25th June 2011, 15:42

Wow another thread turned into an arguement.

Lets sum up.

Vts will NOT do 100mph in 10 seconds. Not even a turbo, supercharged, throttlebodied,cammed,system,decat,airfilter,forge d internals and a map will give you 100mph in 10 seconds!

Common arguement i hear is "the saxo only weighs 900kg" and to that i have a big fat SO WHAT? Even at 900kg they are still 7.6 to 60 and 21 seconds to 100!

From what i can see, people on this forum have too many opinions. As much as people are entitled to them it doesn't mean you can force your opinion over somebody else. If i we're christian, i would not force a muslim to follow my religion or GTFO.

I would also like to point out, comments such as "saxo's are shit" have no substance here. It is an uneducated reply to the fact you actually know nothing about cars.

I've been in, driven fast cars, compared to VTS/VTR they are alot quicker. However for a 1.6, they are light, handle well, respond well to modifications and cheap to buy.

This thread has gone completely off topic as should be closed. Answer is simple as explained above.

VTR - 100mph = 29 seconds
VTS - 100mph = 21 seconds

/Thread

25th June 2011, 15:56

Fair comments, for the record I was saying I'd guess it to be around 10 seconds quicker to 100mph than a VTR, not that it takes 10 seconds to get to 100mph!! the O.P's question was how much quicker is a VTS than a VTR to 100? - (Now I know it's 8 seconds!)

Thread should be closed

100% agree with this.

so many people on here are simply deluded. As i said earlier, for the money and engine size theyre great! But by todays standards and compared to many other cars, theyre pretty awful.

does my swede in when theres a comparison between a nice well built modern car full of modcons designed for just being nice to drive around in, and someone says "yeah but a cammed and stripped out vts is just as quick"... perfect example is the guy in gen chat who's after a corsa VXR for a nice daily driver. it became full of generic, it's not as good as a saxo comments.

25th June 2011, 16:03

Some people on this site need to get a grip and realise that a 'stripped out cammed VTS' is not faster than EVERY other car in the world.

lol, shhhhhh i dont think they seens me

been riding bikes since i was 3 mate lol, not had many on the road(bout 5) as i dont have full license currently, just been 125s, although i have had alot of bikes, and been naughty and played a bit on lots of mates

usually motorcross/enduro for me, trying to find a nice cr500 as i sold mine a few yer back and really want another

i bought an nsr 125 full power a couple of months back to play on for the summer, but after and hour or 2 i remembered how slow they are and got bored so i sold it

before the warriors start twisting at me for playing on mates bikes etc it was generally on really quiet country lanes up in the mountains etc, so hush up

25th June 2011, 21:01

not read through the thread but my car in the wet in its current spec did 0-100 ROUGHLY in 13.5secs. thats with wheelspin in 1st, 2nd,3rd. on a dry day and when its properly mapped running mans boost i expect around 10sec maybe less

27th June 2011, 13:00

Some people on this forum are retarded.As tonto says a s2000 will beat a vts!

27th June 2011, 13:16

lololololol im getting a vts next if there as fast as VTRGT says!

27th June 2011, 13:36

to be fair, everyone on this forum that doesnt own a saxo are sad as fuck, have you not got anything better to do than show off about what car/bike you have now and how better it is than a saxo? get a life. so you may have had a saxo before, but you havent now, so fuck off and post on a different forum where there are other special cases like yourselves that may actualy care.

Sorry oh ruler of the internet forums. You sound bitter because you are still driving a Saxo, is this the case?

I think its more the people with newer better cars are generally older and been there done that expereinced compared to younger inexperienced drivers that are still learning (not in all cases btw).

Anyone who is jealous about they fact that someone owns a better car than him (which, considering you drive a saxo, isn't exactly hard), and feels the need to rant about it on the internet is the real special needs case here.

Lets sum up.

Vts will NOT do 100mph in 10 seconds. Not even a turbo, supercharged, throttlebodied,cammed,system,decat,airfilter,forge d internals and a map will give you 100mph in 10 seconds!

Common arguement i hear is "the saxo only weighs 900kg" and to that i have a big fat SO WHAT? Even at 900kg they are still 7.6 to 60 and 21 seconds to 100!

From what i can see, people on this forum have too many opinions. As much as people are entitled to them it doesn't mean you can force your opinion over somebody else. If i we're christian, i would not force a muslim to follow my religion or GTFO.

I would also like to point out, comments such as "saxo's are shit" have no substance here. It is an uneducated reply to the fact you actually know nothing about cars.

I've been in, driven fast cars, compared to VTS/VTR they are alot quicker. However for a 1.6, they are light, handle well, respond well to modifications and cheap to buy.

This thread has gone completely off topic as should be closed. Answer is simple as explained above.

VTR - 100mph = 29 seconds
VTS - 100mph = 21 seconds

If you were a christian, what the fuck would you be doing in a mosque in the first place?

People are coming onto a Saxo forum to tell people Saxo's are wank. It would be like you going into a Mosque and hyping Christianity.

27th June 2011, 16:41

What a knob!

You'll find most of the people that have better cars now probably made all the guides that you use on this forum or pass on the knowledge when your asking for advice about your saxo.

+1

this is a very true statement..

27th June 2011, 16:50

Poeple aint saying saxo's are shit, justputting people right who think theyre invinsible.

As the above post says, they are very good cars for the money and have alot of potential.

Compare like for like (no mods on both or the same mods on both) and the saxo is not as good as you might think it is.

Id still go through the same timeline of cars with the saxo as its cheap n cheerful, good to learn about mechanics on etc.

yes thats true, but if they were once a saxo owner and joined this forum as a saxo owner, why do they try to belittle all the saxo owners now who have bought a saxo as there first car because its not as good as theres? people come on here for help (myself being one) and all some people do is take the piss and tell them saxos are shit, theres just no need for it.

230 bhp to a vts 120
1200 kilo to 900 kilo - 300 kilo wont make that much difference to something that can rev twice as hard, and have 110 more ponies.
a saxo runs out of puff, ALOT sooner than the s2k, that will just keep pulling and pulling to the redline, where the saxo will stop pulling from pretty much pulling away.

unless your a fat cunt. but you obviously not fat in your super fast saxo...

Calm down dear, it's only a discussion thread!

There really is no need for all the expletives. It's really unpleasant to read. There are rules on this site. I really think you should give them a little read.

true.

But my AX turbo is pretty quick and many other track turbo saxo's are pretty quick

you only have to watch that vid of tams AX and see what its all about - it literally hammers all the cars people on here claim wil eat a VTS and many of those cars prob cost twice as much.

Some of us had it when we were once saxo owners too from the older more experienced owners. Poeple put you right and u learn,or u get more experienced and you learn. No ones taking the piss, if they are its because its an absurd statement theyve made!

They're not that bad. I've know quite a few people who have owned 4 or 5 year old VWs and Audi's and who couldn't wait to get rid of them because they were so unreliable and expensive to fix.

I agree though that, for the money, they are hard to beat performance wise

People

See, even Danny has to learn

Nobody is saying saxo's are shit, but too many people think that a saxo is the fastest car and will beat anything on the road.
Yes, for the price they are they are about the quickest you can get, and cost next to nothing to maintain/repair. So they are a good car, but performance wise they really aren't all that special (once you have driven a proper performance car that is)

27th June 2011, 19:45

VTS's are cheap to buy and cheap to mod, they are a cracking little nimble car for the price. But i think far to many people get deluded with them that their cammed stripped out 150bhp Saxo will destroy m3's and such.

27th June 2011, 19:54

just my input.

some of the guys who claim to have "beaten" this that and the other may have...the other car may have been in the wrong gear or the driver isnt up to the job. so in THAT instant there car is quicker...i agree though that with all things equal then the s2000 in this case would win. but they arent rockets thats for sure. im not biased either.

there is too much cock swinging on this forum by regular posters.

1st September 2011, 18:54

ohhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st September 2011, 19:22

i think having a saxo is great...but only because its pretty much the best car i can afford insurance wise because of my age...i dont want one forever.
