DASH, for 25K you could have gotten a 2nd hand skyline R33 or R34 that will piss all over your beloved V6, six speed.
Also as another option if you really wanted 6 gears and 150+mph then you can pump a few K of the 10K you would save into the CUP to get this, but WHY! 6 gears isnt anything special...

what is it then?
you drive down the strip round the corner and back where you started
yes i have been to the ttcircuit have you?
and as for the old "why get this when you could have this" debate its personal preference matey
you want a saxo\106\dustbin- i dont
i want a v6- you dont
I thought Id put all this to the test...
So I asked my good friend who has a VTS for a little test. His exact words were " but you know youll win? "
I said I wasnt so sure after what the VTS lads on here had said...
So we jumped in our chariots and found some traffic lights just outside Oxford on a dual carriage way and were clear. Both cars were warm.
To say I opened a big can of Whoop ass is an understatement!!!
Admitedly this was not on the twisty stuff but the Cup is lowered so would think it would be as good if not better?
The defence rests!
(and before you ask hes not a member of the Saxo Club as hes got a life)
I enjoy it almost every night. I mostly enjoy giving a lot to charities. I have to have a breather for at least a few hours in the day. I am not getting any younger. One can become detatched from the real world if not too careful thus the forum helps me to keep a little of my sanity.
Time for a knap thanks for the advice.
We werent testing the handling numbnutz...
Read the post carefully and it says " Admitedly this was not on the twisty stuff but the Cup is lowered so would think it would be as good if not better? "
This is why my mate doesnt want to join the Saxo owners club due to the "people" on there. He just likes the car.
Well done for pointing that out, top of the class you may go.Quote: Originally posted by tomclio1.2 on 18 November 2002

Tell me anywhere in THE UK including ANY TRACK where you could do 150MPH PLUS.
You never said it had to be a circuit

sorry it works now
I guess trying to be objective to someone who cannot mentally comprehend what you are trying to say is difficult...
Must be some awfully constructive posts on thier forum. E.G.
Bonehead 1. " I bought a new sunstrip and LED washers "
Bonehead 2. " Thatll make it handle better than a 172 then "
figures...
I take extreme offence to the last statement about the SSC Sangy...
Didnt want to get involved with this petty argument, but hey...
If you want a bit of straight line action bring your cup along to York or the Pod next year I will quite happily wipe the floor with you!
I think Daipac will vouch for that!
Hey, just relaying his comments and he owns one!
If thats how you play it....
I also dont usually get involved but this was getting rather silly and need to be brought into perspective. I take offence at people coming onto our board to have a little pop, keep your opions on your board then these little tete a tetes wont start.
This isnt Saxo sport at the end of the day...
This is probably going even more off topic but, the money for power thing I bought my 16v for 2k and if I spend another 1k on the engine it would kill a VTS and look a hell of a lot better doing it as valvers are not as common as muck, like Saxo VTS and VTRs, at the end of the day this is just some fool who has come over to the forum to cause trouble, he will never show his car and would never have the balls to either go on the rollers or on a track day so why dont we just ignore the c**t and not lower ourselves.

I dont really agree with what VTR_Dude has said or done, but I dont think you should start flaming the whole of the SSC just because of the actions of a few individuals...
Scenario:
Standard Saxo VS Standard 172, on any road in UK.
Result:
172 wipes floor with saxo, end of story, Williams would eat a VTS alive as would a good 16V.
Now go away and play with your neon windowscreen washers.
Hardcore you have modified your VTS to give you much greater speeds and power than a standard one like VTS_DUDE, you could probably toast most, if not all of use, he would struggle in a standard VTS to even keep sight of a 172.
its funny how people can get the wrong impression.
I was honestly just passing what he said on to the viewers at home. didnt mention you personally, in fact I remember a few posts from you when you roasted Daipac at york I think it was which were perfectly amicable.
I apologise for what I said but my comments about it NOT being called Saxo sport still stand.
Might still take you up on that Santa Pod offer after my Winter spending is finished!
