It won't be anything slower at all. I've raced an XE in a VTS, and it was necl and neck. Then I jumped in the XE, and it was the same.

i need hardcore pictures of standard gti's! when did the leather fetish come into play in them?
gotta be that yellow or china blue paint but cant be too fussy...if i go black again i might scream my black corsas done my head in! polish it and looks great untill the day after.
Any easy tuning to be done on these gti's then?

GTi's benefit from breathing mods. Get a pugsport 4-2-1, an enclosed induction kit, a decat, and a remap and you will pull away from XE's.

My GTI had a power loss problem that nobody could trace One day the power dropped a bit and it didn't rev as smooth as it did etc
Also the gearbox was notchy but they are all like that and even my VTR is like that now.In general not bad cars bit the 206 has had it's fair share of horror stories.

Then i drove one and thought bollocks that! Easy 7 seconds dead with just one person in the car.Suprised a good few cars in mine.

I'd say that was spot on.My VTR is meant to be 10 seconds ish but it's a lot quicker than that.Must be 8.5 secs maybe 9.

So the guy reckons his 106 Gti makes 144bhp?!?! 
144bhp my arse!
If its a 2 prong head engine its possible it might make more than the quoted 120bhp but it wont make 144bhp with just an ind kit.
