    Rickzayne, I'm in Bromley Cross. Nipped in to BCC Bolton today and they said usually around 7-10 working days from the email for delivery but they've got it marked down for the end of May. Just have to wait and see! This is TORTURE!
    Typically I drive like a nob and get around 35-37MPG but could get it upto around 45 if I tried.
    BHP ~190
    Torque ~ 230lbs

    When I was in BCC I got completely ignored, was in there for about 10mins and eventually left and went to the Warrington dealer instead.

    I'm in Farnworth, give us a pip if you see us sometime. I know there's around 3/4 other DS3's in Bolton that I've seen.

        Those figures sound rather interesting

        I thought they were really good there. Got my C2 from them too. Had a look in Evans Halshaw in Leeds and they were a bunch of knobheads. Typical car salesmen and only offered me £700 in P/E for my Saxo whereas BCC (then Lythgoe) gave me £1400.

        I've seen a yellow/black one knocking about but I've not seen you two guys. I'll be on the lookout now though. Got C2SC stickers on my rear windows if you spot my C2.

        How have I never seen you, Rick?!

Surely the DS3 should have been a little faster. I think a remap may be in order after that.

              thanks proves my point that somone was arguing with me the other day as i drive a modified vts . im also looking at going for a ds3 for a second car . you not a member on c2club ?

                    It really wouldn't be close though.. 0-60 is like 2 seconds slower, the THP is putting out tonnes more torque and has a higher top end. You can boast about weight but it really won't make much difference head to head.

                        The thread was about C2 and DS3's so I don't think OP will mind.

                        If you're going to stick up a modified car vs the THP I could easily say that a 1.2 corsa would beat the THP if it was stripped, had an VXR engine shoved in, remapped, etc..

                        The argument was comparing base models, I don't dispute if you were to add/remove a few bits from a standard C2 it'd be quicker than a standard THP but that's just a silly argument.

                        I'm not arguing about it, just pointing out you're wrong :P

                            i was pointing out that a member said to me that MY vts would get owned by the thp and with the member saying that the standard thp and the STANDARD vts was close so the member that said that was clearly wrong . thats all dude lol so no im not wrong on what i was meaning
