Smoked by a 106 GTi...

My first 106 GTi made 141.3bhp @ fly on the rollers, it was totally standard apart from an induction kit!
Now we all know how accurate RR's can be, so I don't put too much on the actual headline figure being correct, it was 112.9bhp @ wheels which is more like 133bhp @ fly, but compared to other 106/Saxo's on the day, mine was making more than some modded ones!?
Went like b*ggery too, was as quick as my mates mk1 172 up to about 90, and that's no joke, it flew. I've had various quick cars (306 Rallye, Clio Cup, modded CTR, etc) so I know quick cars, and it was quicker than it should have been.
As others have said... good & bad examples.

Bought that back in 2000... ah, the memories... :approve:
My first proper quick car, I'd had nippy stuff before, but the 106 was a rapid little thing, just a car I loved from the moment I got behind the wheel.
I actually only went with my mate to look at a 306 D Turbo for him, spotted the 106, sales guy offered me a test drive, so naturally I said yes, just wanted to take it for a spin, but a few days later I parted with £10k
Sad day when I sold it, but I was buying a house and she had to ge...
Got another one now, same colour, it's my Mrs' car, but it can never replace my own one!

my mate had a gti , it had 110k on it and was standard , was in good condition engine wise .
like most guys are saying it was aclose thing to 60 then after that the cup would pull and pull , as for handling wise i would say i had the edge but just . here is a 1/4 mile time when we both had these cars, incidently he now has a new ibiza cupra and it shifts , from a standing start the clio would take it but from a rolling start it shat on the cup,not the megane tho , lol
anyway heres the 106 gti vrs 172 cup times

The 106 is geared closer than the Clio's, especially the mk1 which is oddly long for a hot hatch, 5th is longer on the mk1 than 6th on the 306 GTi-6/Rallye!
mk1 172:
1st = 4.8mph/1000rpm
2nd = 8.7mph/1000rpm
3rd = 12.9mph/1000rpm
4th = 16.8mph/1000rpm
5th = 22.0mph/1000rpm
mk2 172/Cup:
1st = 5.3mph/1000rpm
2nd = 8.7mph/1000rpm
3rd = 12.4mph/1000rpm
4th = 15.8mph/1000rpm
5th = 20.4mph/1000rpm
106 GTi:
1st = 4.7mph/1000rpm
2nd = 8.3mph/1000rpm
3rd = 11.9mph/1000rpm
4th = 15.3mph/1000rpm
5th = 18.9mph/1000rpm
You can literally just hit 60 before the limiter in 2nd with the 106, will look like more on the speedo due to error, the Clio's are 63mph.
id sell my clio now and have a 106, im really impressed with my GFs one, they have alot of potential, yellow one with black wheels yum yum!!
i really dont know bout it being faster than a 172, but when stevie P took me out in his 172 i was very very impressed, but i get the same feeling when ever i go in the GTI i really dont think theres loads in it TBH!
there have been alot of VTS's and 106s that have surprised me before when i had a do with em (on race track) and i feel if i wasnt running the mods that ive got they would have beet me!

christ mike, your cali seemed like a beast!! i can certainly easily saythat my old vee was in no way in the same league as my cup!... any clue what mods it had? sounds great... even at 200 brake tho its power to weight still wouldnt match a cup really... surely?.. im truely shocked thats all, as my old vee wouldnt have stood a bloody chance against my cup..
im sure your not this stupid but are you sure that the engine mod wasnt an engine transplant to the 2L turbo engine? hehe

lol! no mate, it was deffo still a V6! haha i actually dont know what he'd had done, but i had rolling road slips to prove the power, and as my mate with the VTS said b4, it was bloody quick. the gearing was so long as well, u could pop it into 3rd at 70mph on the motorway and smoke most things
