went 172 and 182 hunting last night after a hour of driving about on numerose roads i decided to head back to base camp, any how i was driving down the A127 long straight road with a few bends and a couple of roundabouts sitting nicley at 65ish when i see a blue blob coming pretty rapid into my rear view, hm i think to my self 172 must be couple of seconds later its confirmed, he pulls in breaking straight infront of me coming into the roundabout but before he does makes a smirk at me as over taking, off the orund about we both go for it pulling slightly on him through 2nd and passing him middle of 3rd then more and more in 4th to over a ton 5th looked back up couldnt see him haha, slowed back down to a reasonable speed and wooosh comes flying passed again same senario as above then reocured and couldnt be bothered to play after that.... 172s and 182 drivers are genna ****ing hate me around my way see there face when a paxo goes passed its quality...... thing i like about the saxo is people think its a vts badged vts or west coast soon find out its not! do u guys think i might be chipped as on paper my vts shouldnt be anywhere near a 182 or even a 172 but it is...

errrrrr id imagine that summit has deffo been done to ur car, as my std williams (just zorst) can keep up with vts'. my mate has a vts with quite a few mods, obviously it pulls away but not amazingly. this vts i mention has chip, ik, cams (apparently, dubious about that) zorst and manifold and is v quick. it is also a vtr, vts convo so is lighter than vts's toooo. and this mentioned vts only pulls away slowly from 172s and even type r's (passengered). so for ur car to keep with 172's and 182's, shit even overtake is impressive, even more so when the vts does 100 in about 20 secs and 172's do it in 17ish!
maybe a trip to a rr day is needed :wink:

there are some seriously quick VTS' around tho, Craggy's with zorst mods ran 14.5 1/4 mile and beat most 172's pretty comfortably... as most 1/4 mile around mid to low 15's.

when i done the 182 on sunday i was like **** me that shouldnt have happened so thought id try a rematch to see if it may have been a slow one passed the 172 too, i think a r/r day would prob be a good idea, as far as i know i only have a filter the thing bloody flies had a little do against a rx8 too and he wernt going no where... gettin a manifold and full cat back custom exhaust so after those it should abliterate the wee 182 boys, :D

A vts is the same speed as a valver yeah :? Im sure a williams would see one off. Not sure how there can be super fast standard vts out there. You cant get one at valver pace and another at 182 pace with no mods on either surely. :shock:

My sister has a 106 GTi, which I use (more than she does actually....Williams reliability :roll: ) and it bloody flies too. Like you say Skipp, pretty strong up until about 5000, and then it really picks up.

I've heard of a lot of near standard (exhaust/filter) GTis running 140bhp when they get them on the dyno, when they're only 120bhp standard.

I have a particularly slow example, but I'm pretty sure her 106 would dump on my Williams. :oops:

KingStromba

'Erm, well, you know what I mean.

T'is true, her GTi is quicker than my Williams. I wouldn't mind having a go in a decent Williams, to see what they should be like. Anyone fancy a swap at Ty Croes?! :D

KingStromba
26-05-2005, 23:18
I have a fast one and a slow one. 0002 would murder 0200. Wouldnt even be close.
