1999 Citroen Saxo VTS review from UK and Ireland
"Unbeatable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
Earlier this year I was looking for a quick car so I went and bought a Saxo VTS. I drove it around a bit and fought it was a bit slow so I went and got something really fierce done to it, I got a loan and bought a Escort Cossie engine for it.
Wow what a difference as standard, but that wasn't enough so I had a hybrid Turbo fitted and the head changed for a specially hand built head and had the gearing changed, along with adding a unichip.
Finally I had the disc's changed to Escort Cossie disc's, and had the suspension dropped 90mm and added 18's to it. All this has cost me £7000, but boy is it worth it.
After all this my 0-60 time is 2.9 and my top end is 172MPH, THIS THING IS SO FAST THAT IT BEATS FERRARI'S OFF THE LIGHTS. I have never lost a race in it yet, but I have so nearly stacked so many times.
