That looks pretty quick Craggy. Just worried about my VTS not running right, your gear changes seem to be dropping you right into the sweet spot of 5000rpm, when I change at 7000rpm+ it drops me to 4500, so I hit a small flat spot as the car come off cam :( Ill have to get mine checked out.

Im sure this story has a moral... Oh yes never lift off round a bend unless you know how to control lift off oversteer! Its fun if you get it right but you could wind up dead if you dont know what youre doing :sick: I did it once and sh*t myself, luckily I caught it (got away with it)...

Lower it! You know you want to! ;) Mines getting 50mm GMC springs in Jan :D

Its nice to see someone praise the Saxo fairly and not hate it just because its popular :D I must drive a Clio sometime, trouble is I dont want to test drive a 172 cos I might like it too much :o My mate had a RSi till he rolled it :o and that was pretty rapid, he used to race another mate...

I have a VTS, (Used to have a VTR) and they aint slow once you get them above 5000rpm and they come on cam, (They redline at 7000rpm, hit the limiter at 7500rpm.) At lower revs they feel pretty uninspiring but once you hit the sweet spot they transform into a bit of an animal :D I have yet to...

I dont know what the speeds are for all the gears apart from 65mph in 2nd and 127mph in 5th. But the 106GTi/VTS do have low gearing to make up for the lack of torque at low revs. Peak torque is at 5500rpm.

Oh they also weigh 960 odd K and that helps ;)

What a lot of people dont realise about the 106GTi/VTS is they have quite wild cams. From 1000-4500rpm they are quite flat and a VTR/Zetec-S/106Xsi will keep up. When they hit 4500-7000 they "come on cam," develop 120BHP and peak torque of 107ft/lbs. This gives quite a rush that tends to...

Oh and it will be interesting to see what a Renault driver thinks of a Saxo. Hope its not too bad for Craggy :oops: ;)

"But Citroen did the reputation of its small hot hatch no favours by kitting out 1.1s and 1.4s with the same body-kit." I agree Ben, Citroen have watered down the image of the Sporty Saxos by giving low powered cars the same body kit. But, I guess thats another reason the Saxo is popular, it...

Hi this is my first post :) Right. Enough of the introductions ;) I think the idea the rear end of a Saxo is dangerous is a bit overstated. Go into the corner at a sensible speed then increase the pace to balance understeer. But if you back off the throttle mid bend at speed, be ready...
