Mk 2 saxos have 130bhp, you would be suprised at the pace of these. What quarter mile time does a uk scoob do?? A 160ish bhp saxo will be mid 14's which must be close to a scoob.

LOL, my thoughts exactly, an exhaust an induction kit might get 1-5 bhp if that.
I thought that the saxo's were approx 125bhp at the fly which is why I wondered what the previous chap did to get 130 at the wheels.

Bloody hell. Cant afford to run a scoob and a girlfriend. Not made of money.

Get a EcuTek remap, and the saxo would feel like he left his handbrake on.

Firstly it will take a hell of a lot more than an exhaust, air filter and FSE power boost valve to return 160bhp on a VTS engine.
I spent several thousand tunning my 106 Dimma which had the VTS engine. I had forged pistons (high comp), light & balance, gas flowed head, kent PT52 cams, 4 branch manifold etc and all I ever got was 151bhp @ fly.
Before putting the Dimma wide arch kit, 18" wheels (why-o-why) my ickle 106 could keep on the bumper of a standard UK Impreza, maybe even push it along a little.... infact one pulled in and let me past on day
A standard UK Turbo at 215bhp with weight of 1450kg is 148bhp per ton
A modded 106 GTi at 151bhp with weight of 950kg is 158bhp per ton
106 GTi has transmission loss of 23%
UK Turbo has transmission loss of 30%
The truth hurts!

Are we talking classic scoob or newage? Think the classics weigh slightly less than the bug, blob and hawkeyes so probably have a slightly better power to weight ratio than quoted. Even still a 150bhp light hot hatch will still keep with a standard scoob depending on conditions.
I remember having an excellent blast with a clio ***** in my old uk classic many moons ago on straights and twisties and he was up my **** the entire time (oooh er )- happy days

A Classic has 177bhp/ton as standard.
Considerably over 200+bhp per ton possible with an exhaust and remap. Agree with you completely that getting 30bhp extra out of a saxo will cost a lot more than just an exhaust- that owner is kidding himself.
Standing qtr mile for a UK turbo running 260bhp+ should be in the high 12s then I believe. 0-60 it would destroy the Saxo, it would never recover the deficit......not without rather more than 160bhp
The truth will set you free!
Cheers,

Never knew you would lose 23% in a 2WD car.

That's why Subaru are looking into electric hybrids for the next model!!
FINALLY SCOOBY OWNERS CAN OUTDRAG A MILKFLOAT!!!!

For all those textbook racers out there:
4WD cars: http://www.letstorquebhp.com/4wd.asp?sort=Make
2WD cars: http://www.letstorquebhp.com/fwd.asp?sort=Make
Of particular interest to "real-world" drivers should be the 0-100 or 60-100 times which are all "sortable" by clicking on the column title.
Compare and enjoy.
Textbook being much safer than street racing obviously
