But start tuning the vxr and it will be a totally different story.

vxr will always 'feel' faster due to its torque and delivery of power, hence why diesels feel faster then they usually are.
vts can do low 15's 1/4 as standard and rarely high 14's with no mods,
whats a vxr?

Exactly
Could say that about the Saxo though, 300+bhp isnt uncommon for a Turbo/Supercharged 1.6. It just depends how deep your pockets are. There's a few 106's on 106 owners running 450+ on a 1.6

Vts with cams, remap and decat etc will keep to a Corsa vxr.
My one was pretty quick, never had it up against anything though. It kept breaking down before I could.
