well a std 106 has a fair bit more power.

thats irrelevent, most body panels on the 106 will peel off at 51MPH AFAIK

Making it even lighter therefore making it go faster.

sounds to me like the 106 gti wasnt tryin to beat the nova he just sat along side him until the nova topped out.
i agree that every1 underestimates saxo vts' and the 106 gti and IMO it would still be close even with your mods even if the 106 didnt have the cams or TBS so he must have been messin with you.

You lot obviously haven't seen just how quick C16XE Novas are with a few bits.
IIRC, Robs old one was in the 14s on the 1/4 mile, with a standard engine, and more weight?

My current nova prob weighs about 75-100kgs lighter than my old nova and now has lexmaul and custom inlet tract
My old nova beat many C20XE Corsas at santa pod last year also.
