gsi bhp

[phatwake360]

anybody tell me the standard bhp of a gsi and the bhp per ton :tard:

alsoooo honestly how does it compare to a pug 205 1.6gti :eek:

[Stuart]

100bhp (in both gte/gsi)

weigh about 850kg ish....

NO CHANCE with a 1.6 pug 205.

The nova was/is pants compared to the gti in standard form...

thats a shame :( i run a nova 1300 autograss car and am looking at building a 2nd car for the missus so a gsi would be handy spares n wheels wise but if the pug is faster and handles better then hmmmn, cant really change much either as its a standard class

cheers :thumb:

pug does not handle better i went from my silky gsi to a pug 205 1.6 gti
and it was horid to drive and put me in a roundabout head on

[Stuart]

or was that piss poor driver adaption?

I had a mullered 205 TD and it was a fabulous car to drive (even though the back end was near its bumpstops etc) compared to a std gte/gsi. yes when agitated the 205 would be lairy unlike the GTE/GSI but you had a choice to be a cretin or not :D

In standard form, a 5GTi WILL out handle & out pace a standard GSi. Fcuk, a standard XR2i will outpace a standard GSi!

Yer but technically the CVH engine is sh1te. My dads just bought an XE to replace the 1.6 CVH in his kit car.....quite annoying having my nova parked 3 feet away from an XE and theres no plans for it for me lol

[General Baxter]

are you sure the 205 weighs that much, maybe 100kg you can dent the panels by sneezing on it lol

erm... I didnt knock you yesterday. I was merely pointing out that time isnt free, no matter what you might think. get over yourself

[mowgli]

the only reason a 205gti handles terribly is if the front lower bushes are knackered, causing the tracking to do strange things & the self centering on the steering to stop working.....why do you think they still work well in stock hatch???

ps. a 205gti will whip a std gsi in lots of ways, but I hate working on french stuff cos you need three elbows on each arm to get at anything.

I had a 205 and gsi 12 years ago. I would say there's very little between them. 205 better breaks weak engines and suspension. GSI bad breaks great engine [more torque] safe handling. 205 top speed 120 0 to 60 8.5 GSI top speed 119 0 to 60 8.5
