      1998 Peugeot 106 Sport here!!
      Only difference with the standard 1.4 PSA engine, which is common to the Xsara and countless other models through generations, is that you get twin injectors per cylinder, hence a more punchy engine but you can never keep your hand far away from the gear shift..).
      At my very own level I got exactly the feeling you are describing, watching this. High point was last year in the Col de la Forclaz in France, a flippin 911! Left on my arse at every reacceleration but right back to his bumper on the brakes, back tyres sideways and adrenaline through the red burgundy roof, haha... It was probably less impressive from the outside, he was probably no Senna etc. but no matter, the amount of fun and actual feeling on these things is endless.
      Salut from France.

    As a RWD snob, I love seeing how a good FWD points, balances and dances around the car’s front end grip.
    Surely the ‘anti lag’ is a leaky/dribbly injector allowing fuel through to be combusted in the hot exhaust.
    I love the impromptu short shift he achieves by shifting the gear lever lower down at the gear boot/cover.

      Just out of curiosity - what made you think there was any double-clutching here? Are you from US? I've seen similar comments all around youtube in the car enthusiast area but I just don't know where this comes from. Can't imagine it's from a line from the original fnf 2001 movie that made people without any manual gearbox experience just assumed you doubleclutch when performance driving - but I don't have any other explanation for it at the moment.

    I had an ax GT that had been modified to twin Webber's from a mini and full through exhaust that you could almost fit you head in. It popped and banged and reckon it's as quick as my unmodified fn2. Compomotive alloys with a 3 stud and spacers to give me a bit more camber. Awesome little car apart from the electrics as with all french cars.

    My first lap on the Nordschleife was with a Xsara wagon (2.0L 90hp diesel) that you saw when we first met back in 2017, and back at that time I wished I had one of those VTS instead. Now I have a 406 Coupé as my project car but seeing this VTS being driven like that I wonder if I did the right choice. Awesome car, greatly underrated, and very good driver. Love to see some love for french cars, the best kind of shitboxes !

      @@Kalandaari I am running the later engine, the ES9J4S. The engine is now in it's second chassis and has done lots laps on Zolder, Zandvoort, Assen and about 800 laps on the nordschleife. The engine seems to handle the abuse well, the only problem that I see with these engines is oil leaking from the valve covers (which can be fixed easily) and vacuum hoses that turn to crumbles after 20 years.
      I am contemplating on using a 2.2HDI Coupe next year for the ring. It's lighter in the front and it's a huge fuel saver.
