One of my mates just sent me this, thinking I'd found it amusing......he was right!  What do the rest of you think?
=====
*TAKEN FROM A SAXO FORUM*
i was going down an open 60 road last night in my mark 2 mauritus blue VTS, now this is a fast vts let me tell you i have raced my chum in his dads MX5 and i beat him every time off the lights when the VTS comes on cam. Anyway, my VTS is nearly standard, i think it is one of the "lucky" 130 BHP models, i have a K&N 57i induction kit and a magnex back box so im sure its pushing out another 8 bhp at least.
as i am going along at about 65 i see a subaru imprezza WRX old shape come up in my rear view mirror. Feeling a little bit fruity as i had just sealed a deal earlier that day in my Kitchen Sales job i decided i would have a quick race A blip on the throttle and the chap behind gave chase. all the way upto the ton mark he stuck with me but could'nt get past.
We got to some traffic lights coming into my town, but it was still a 60 so we lined up next to each other on the red light. When it went green we both floored it. Even with his AWD becuase of the standing water we both sturggled to get grip and while he was ahead i quickly got upto his rear bumper as the roar of my K&N kicked in. I went into the fast lane and over took him around 70 and the look on his face was priceless!

Saw an Impreza estate hit 585bhp last weekend, at Well Lane, I think that might have just beaten a Saxo! 
200+ club rolling-road day, was pretty impressive!

Superbly set up, watching the bhp-dials......no mega-harsh kick when the turbo kicked in, nice and smooth. It'd still be a monster to drive, but not when compared to some other cars I've seen set up with a harsh turbo-kick.
