Derwin Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 You can make any car fast. Power to weight really is the key. I have 220bhp/tonne from one of my Nova's, and by the time the super 1600 engine is finished I'll have 313bhp/tonne. Which is nothing compared to my mate Steves Turbo which makes 480bhp/tonne Reason the BMW pulls off at the start is because its RWD, it has better traction. FWD cars are shite off the line, its the only thing that holds them back. Id say the M3 would pull away/gain after about 120mph, simply because its more aerodynamic and has more power............... until it hits its top speed. Still, a badass car none the less :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derwin Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Car to the same spec as my mates Nova Turbo. http://www.corsa-a.de/downloads/images/video-bitburg-03.jpg Nova Turbo vs Ferrari 360 Modena http://www.corsa-a.de/downloads/images/luckau-05.jpg Nova Turbo vs E46 M3 Thats a car you could build all in for around 4K. Thats talking bout an absolute minter too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumber60 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Plus you have to think they only come with around 105/115 bhp standard, and thats good enough for around 8/8.5s 0-60...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actaully the VTS is a 7sec car. And the same engine is in a 106 GTi, and thats a 6sec car because its lighter!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> where'd you get ur figures from Paul, Jackanory???? Saxo 1.6VTS = 7.6 sec106 1.6 Gti 16v = 8.4 sec (Source, Parkers)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Saxo VTS 7.8 sec Saxo VTR 9.4 (source, citroen)106 GTI 8.2 Sec (source, peugeot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_d Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 They use differnt test methods.Its the same engine and gearbox with a few different panels = smae car = same speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwin Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Point to Point the 106 is faster. They share everything but suspension settings. The Pugs suspension is better set up then the citroen's. They run rings around them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_d Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 The steering feels alot lighter on the saxo but i dont think there are any major differences. The hot hatch test I red in evo there were within something like a 10th of a second of each other. The first nova vid is cool, second one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwin Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Is the censored in a good way or sensored in a bad way :lol: Steve's Turbo which is more or less the same spec as the one in the video's (the one in the video is even faster now) pushes 600cc superbikes along the road. It is by far the fastest car I have been in....... until it comes to a corner lol. He hasnt made any effort with the handling The braking is phenomenal though!

Derwin Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Agreed. Thats probs why he has the name Dare-Devil. Dont know him personally, hes just some German dude with a seriously quick Nova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonarmy Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 sorry but the m3 would of killed that saxo, and if it was a csl then it would of shat on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwin Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Toonarmy........... A 230bhp Saxo has serious Power To Weight Ratio......... if the gearing is good it will trounce an M3. M3's are powerful, but they dont half weigh a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
