rich I'm not denying the power / torque... :| where did i say it was slow. I'm just saying in 3rd / 4th / 5th / 6th it's not quick enough / powerful enough to be spinning up in the dry.


I just thought by you saying....'yeh. Not that quick'. But i get it now, you were refering to POW's post :thumbs:


:thumbs: no prob bud :)

Yer but that shows proper power when you keep pulling at a strong rate all the way to top speed.

That saxo just shows it accelerates through first coulpe of gears quick because it weights as much as a toy car

mine has well over 200 lb ft of torque as standard, 230lb ft to be precise, so if thats got 200bhp its lively to have 310 +


Paul_J

To be fair, for that to be 200 bhp, it must have well over 200 lb ft of torque too :|

off the line i think the vts would still have it, but pretty obvious what the results are gonna be after leaving the start line with that much bhp + torque.

model dervs are no where near as smokey as that TDI. The owner has mapped it to 200bhp... I cant quite remember the techy reason of this... but it often results in a trail of rain cloud coming from the back.

I think it would be a fairly even race from 0-40 between the TDI and VTS but after that the VTS will start to see a cloud of smoke

derv power :D :thumbs:

all that smoke suggests the ibiza is mapped... or the owner added a clever smoke screen device ;)
