They weigh a hell of a lot more than that. But it'll be a wee weapon with the GTi lump in it!

A mate of mine had a 1.1 AX and it left my 1.2 Nova for dead.
And he had stuff in the boot.

They weigh a fair bit less than a Nova and Nova's aren't heavy.

If you think they weigh 600kg you are an idiot.

That is quite a difference And I didn't call him an idiot, I said if he thinks they weigh that then he is one.

Give the lad a break, it's not his fault if he's a goon and he thinks they weigh 600kg.

it's being said above like the lad got it wrong by about 1000kg's. He was 122 off. That's pretty good. Better than what I would have said anyway.

That aside, they are very nimble and quick. A mate had a GT and it raped my 1.4 SR Nova.
