Bored so thought I'd ask, same track, same driver which one d'ya think should post the fastest time. Stumbled across a Vauxhall site (I know!!) and read a post that advises all would be Scoob and EVO drivers that there cars are only good for straight line speed, cause they don't handle, as well as showing off to 'Rude Boys' and stuff.

VX220 would win on a bendy track IMO (x E6 Driver)

Horses for courses, the VX would beat the Evo on a tight and twisty track, but there again if thats the scene your into then theres alot faster car's than the VX to own.

Its either go for the hairdressers car (VX220) or go for the mans car (EVO6). but i would so them all and get a porsche 944 turbo, as fast as an evo and can out handle a vx220 any day. Doughnutman

vx200 turbo would be well quick.

hairdressers car?? Well i've never heard it called that! Perhaps you should try the latest modified VXT's - 250bhp and 250lb/ft They definitely require some handling and are hitting 100 in 11 secs!
And an old 944 cant compete with either a new Evo, scooby or a VX - weight, chassis, suspension, brakes have all moved along in the last 10/5 years. I had a stripped out 944 (turbo?) follow me around Bedford in my standard(ish) 2.2 VX and he didnt make any ground. All IMO naturally

Funny that. I would put my 14 year old 944 turbo against any of the cars you have mentioned and I am pretty certain it would be pretty competetive

Weight - Yep it weighs about the same as an Evo and a WRX
Suspension - Adjustable Koni's are not that bad
Brakes - lol, better than any of the cars you have mentioned!

It wasn't a turbo (was it a green and blue Falken one?)

Dave - It was an orange 944 at the Redline bedford day - lots of tasty kit inc. P1, Gt3, radical sr3, TVR's and te Palmer Jag

Have you modifying the brakes and suspension then since standard? Now thats different IMO a stock 944 turbo could not compete against a stock evo/vxt. Performance/brakes/suspension have all change for the better.

A stock 250bhp 944 Turbo with the M030 suspension option is more than a match for an Evo, VX or WRX.

A 944 is a very good car, but I agree things have moved on somewhat. I've raced 944 turbo, 968 and 'normal' 944's on trackdays, I'm no great driver, but posted faster laptimes than these in my Fiat Coupe.
I was lapping in about the same time as an RB5 on the day, so I would expect against an EVO or vx220t to be a little bit quicker than a 944 turbo.

ps My Coupe has a lot of suspension/engine mods btw.

Just quickly nosed through this, VX220 - Hair dressers car, I doubt it, the Turbo is an awesome bit of kit.

im sure that an evo can corner preety well

on the top gear track im sure the evo 7 easily beat the vx turbo by a few seconds
