but by driving it i dont think its as quick as the fiesta ST.




we could have this argument all day but it is as quick but not quicker. the st will probably gain about a bonnets length after 100 upto top speed =]

Well Ben is safe to say his best reading on the german autobahn and I can safely say that I did 205 kph, also on the german autobahn. I'll let everyone do the maths into the ancient units you still use on the island.

I gotta say, it doesnt feel as quick to me, it was a great car in its time (saxo vts) but i just feel if you was to go up against a fiesta round a circuit it would come up short. its things like gears, handling, horse-power etc, the fiesta is a cut above the saxo in all of those catagorys.

Isnt the saxo vts the same as the 106 gti? 120bhp, 0-60 in 8.4secs, top speed 128mph?

To be honest with you sarge, the gear ratio's on the VTS and ST are almost identical. Something to consider when comparing cars is that difference in
power isn't always a good indication that one car may be quicker than another.
You have GOT TO look at the power to weight ratio for a true comparison.
Many people who aren't that clued up about cars just believe if they have more
power then their car must be quicker. D'oh!
Take the ST 150bhp 1165kg, so power to weight ratio = 128.75 bhp/ton
Then some chump might come along and say my car has got 295bhp so it would
eat your car in a race, unfortunately this guy is in a range rover sport
4.4 V8 HSE and the thing weighs 2480kg so his power to weight ratio is
only 118.95 bhp/ton. In reality the ST would probably be quicker in a straight line and also leave it for dead in the bends too!!!

The Range Rover would win in a caravan towing race though.

Yes, but if you have a caravan then you have lost the plot completely

Ah, so that's why my 0 to 60 is nowhere near what I was expecting.
