my moneys on nova's aswell theyve all got 2.0 L but saxo's wud be better round corners coz the 2.0l lumps are slightly heavy on the front end and saxos weigh not much more than a can of coke.

TBH 1/4 is never gonna be the best in big power saxo's as its so difficult to get the power down. Rolling start would be a lot better

saw this on ssc.
think theyre going to pitch similar cars against eachother.
for example....
nova SR vs VTR
Nova gte/gsi vs VTS
XE vs tb vts
Let vs Supercharged vts
Novas will whipe the gorund clean with saxo's in most categories i think (and i own one!  ) Just a bit of fun though. Old vs New
Id have a nice nova over a saxo anyday. But there arent many around

the most i have seen in a Saxo is about 250bhp and that like max
Rick Drapers Let Nova is going to be like 400bhp+
IssacHunt Blue Nova 11.8 1/4 and was a 2lt 8v
Saxo are going to get Raped
Corsa Vs Saxo = Corsa Win
Corsa Vs Nova = Nova win
Why even bother...?
the only chance the Paxos have it the one with Twin R1 engines But even in a paxo weight can not see being that fast, and Novas will come back with Twin engine Nova 700bhp jobby

was gonna say a 75 bhp vs a VTR is a bit unfair surely?
Same with the gte/gsi and VTS
but the xe and let will eat most saxos!
having saying that im sure a well tuned gsi with twin webbers will give a vts a run for its money!

end of the day
IssacHunt Blue Nova 11.8 1/4 how many saxo can even come close to that?
and i recon the Nova boys could put out a car with almost any engine size which could rape most of the saxo they bring
Chips old Standard XE Nova ran a 13.3 i would set that the bench mark (as it was just a standard Nova with a XE he had lay about thrown in) for the Paxo boys and i think most of the saxo kids will find it hard to beat that

Traction isent a Issue really on the 1/4 mile as once the cars got going the LETs are off, Tims Let Corsa off here was a shit 0-60feet time but can still hit a 13.4 1/4
