Hey I'm only playing with you. I figured that since it was a 3 or 4am and I think an 8am (still awake, completely blocked) reply you might have guessed I was a little intoxicated! Lol. No offence intended. If I hadnt been so drunk I would have linked you up to the back to the future page! In truth the stage 2 VXT will pull on a 300bhp (insert hot hatch) probably up to top speed. I wouldn't like to be behind the wheel much above 140! Had mine at this speed once and it was scary! I was waiting for a cats eye to pull the steering wheel from my hands and put me off the road. Honestly go get a drive in an N/A, I tried both turbo and N/A, preferred the drive of the later, despite the bhp figures it's nippy enough. I bought last year with a view to supercharge... Can't wait to see what it's like then. Again my appologies if I annoyed you. Waggy.

No bother mate, im off to have a look at a 2.2 now to see how it feels and looks close up. I'd be getting the turbo though and i have my eye on a stage 4. How does the VX feel at around 100mph? I suppose because its light and very low its scary at high speeds, is it unsafe doing 140mph or just scary?

[slindborg]

core difference might be a two stepped foot rest for the passenger and the Cluster is a REAL stack in the N/A and a fake one in the Turbo. Other than that you wont know the difference inside.

he asked if the seats were different

[nicollow]

I have a VXT Stage 4, and its plenty quick. My old man had a 2007 911 Carrera 4S and my car is a good deal quicker to ~100. Into 3 figure speeds VXs are not a nice places to be. Ive hit 140 or so at Knockhill/Autobahns and my ass was clenched tighter than gbobm's wallet...

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

Well after all that seaching i've only found 1 VX220 in the north east area but its a 2.2, im going over to have a look at it later, sit in it and see how it feels and so on. Whats the difference to look at between the 2.2 and turbo? Also whats the difference interior wise, are the seats the same? I would test drive it but it would be in a complete different leage to a stage 4 VXT? lol
Obviously wont be buying it, just having a feel

there is only a few "stuck on" bits different between the VX and VXT (apart from the engine). a opional extra like centrol locking.

becuase of the huge turbo manafolds ect that add all the weight the boot is a bit smaller in a VXT.

the seats are the same and the trim has leather stuck on in the tubby... the stuck on bits are, Ears, a lip spoiler, two half token splitters and rased vents on the boot.

your going to have to travel for a VX as they are hard to come by. test drive any VX you can get, it'll give you an idea of what to expect when then sitting in a stage 2 or 4..

I will add that those expectations will then be blown out the water when you do.. neverless it will be worth it..

Nothing to add as it's all been said and we're going round in circles.

Buy Nicols!

However, if you dont have much experience with RWD and Mid-engine cars I'd wouldn't recommend starting with a VXT Stage 4 - just my opinion, you'd probably be fine, depends how you drive.

Nice, I like that alot and a decent price for all the mega expensive goodies. Thinking about spraying mine black because of osmosis plus a blind person must have prepped mine when it had a knock in the back.

really?!





I thought that was what both looked like :/

[The Batman]

Now look for yellow or silver or green or switch or moorland or mandarin seats They only made blue, red, black and biscuit leather seats and only blue black biscuit or plastic doorcards and red on the Vxr but this is Alcantara not leather

[techieboy]

really?!

Yep.

I think you're mistaking door cards for seats.
