had a lil traffic lights race with a saxo vtr just now. I've got a 1.4 sport by the way, so on paper my car is about 1 second slower 0-60. Anyways, i was about 5metres behind him before i started (idiot!) anyways, caught up, nudged in front up to about 40 this was, then he started edging past me and i gave up cos didnt wanna go to fast and be stupid. Anyways from this it seems my car has more low down power than a saxo. any views on this? i was surprised to say the least/.
