   Ok i see lots of these threads vtr vs vts etc and i always think there daft.
   
   however last night my mates s1 rallye camed. couldnt even get close to my vtr.
   
   The rallye is a s1 so 100bhp standard its for after market exhaust. air filter and cams.
   
   and my vtr is a phase 1 so 90bhp with a 4 branch, decat, exhaust and filter.
   
   Now surely the rallye should have beaten me

   The thing is sometimes there its not just pure figures that determin the winner, there are to many varables like engine age, condition, tyre condition and driver abilty.
   
   Remember the Series1 is a 1300 and your R is a 1600 so you may have extra torque etc
   
   'Vs' questions are very hard to answer as without being there its all either down to figures or personal views and opinions

   Acceleration out of corners. cornering. along a straight line everything. It just couldnt get close once id pulled away.

   Like I said the series1 is a 1300 Im sure and is uber light and nimble so he may have been quick off the line and in the bends but the extra grunt of the 1600 R should have you with the advantage.
   
   If it was a series2 then you probally would have lost

    s1 could not have correct gearbox (this is very common to happen)
    
    or your mate cant drive or shit.
