Pretty sure VTR's are 98bhp standard.
VTS's are 120bhp i think, both would piss on a sport

this isn't a discussion about chavs, it's about cars.
But if we are going into chav world then consider this..
Chav's tend to have all the top gear, Gucci, Armani, Lacoste, Burberry
And they all have VTRs?! Obviously better than corsas then from that understanding

Bye a Vtr, Phase 2 with 98bhp, fit some 16's lower it, fit an exhaust and panel filter.
Stand back and agree it wont look any better than it does now regardless of what you do to it.

I must of seen some seriously bad Saxos or something because people seem to make out they are well built and good to drive but I've driven them, I've been in them and have found quite the opposite only thing I can think of is that I have been in all the bad ones

15's on it max or it looks gay imho, lower it and it will look much better, but imho the styling is spot on and i wouldnt want to change any of the bodywork

would agree but a very good investment would be a Procomp induction kit, bout £280 but it is a Full Carbon Induction kit, they are wicked and actually have dyno proven gains.

I have found that Phase 2 ones are slightly better built than phase ones. But clearly a citreon wont be as well built as a vauxhall, but that contributes to the weight, and this is the key point why my 112 bhp Corsa with 8 more valves, only really and noticably pulls on a 98bhp phase 2 Vtr when i'm up into third gear

I have owned both corsa and saxo...saxo wins on every front including build quality. Was a bit pissed off that fuel pump went after 20k but it could happen to any car regardless of make or model.
