    Yeah - shame that engineering has gone to waste on a Saxo, there are many other cars that'd go alot faster with it in, and handle better.

    Its an impressiove feat of engineering and i muchos respect it for that. Lets face it it could have been *any* car they just decided to use a saxo, as i would as it is 2 fingers up to the overstyled, underperforming P.o.S. that a modified saxo usually is.

    I think its great. How many people will think - its only a crappy VTS when you pull up at the lights?

    As for chav's - people here who asociate chavs with a car like the above, clearly have no idea what a chav actually is!

    I think I do having gone to school in essex adn most of my year where them thank you.

    Just seems an utter waste to me and pointless. Yes the engineering works good but at the end of the day its still just a Saxo no matter which way you look at it

    The car is reworked for motorsport use , not for taking you and your mates down to the UCI cinema.

    Yes - and how many of them had motorbike engine powered saxo's that could do 0-60 as fast as a Lamborgini diablo?

    What do you mean none???

    Its something you will never understand (ir maybe you will when your older). But taking a machine, and improving its performance far beyond what it was originally designed for is one of the most exiting and rewarding things you can do to a car in my oppinion. I love it, theres nothing like doing it yourself, and then reaping the rewards. It doesnt matter what the car is, it could be a mini, or a saxo, or a skyline, or a ferrari enzo. The fact you just made it better than it should be is the reason we do it. Its about as far from pointless as you can get, infact its point-full so to speak.
