i suggest us but i somehow think we would get beat, the 2lt boys on here are mad

[FPR newboy]

oh so everyone get a K&N, bluefin and powerflow exhaust on and we could stand a chance :rock:

JOKE

[lisafrp]

We could bring the turbo

We could bring the turbo

i did say there were a couple of turbo owners on here but there is about 6 which i know of who have LETS on the corsa site plus a handful more of tuned XE's

[Turby]

LETS ?

[David]

How quick's a 2.0 Corsa? It's still crap, but I would think it's pretty fast. They seem to be underestimating Civic's and Saxo's particularly. Get 160bhp VTS, and it will absolutely fly. Same with tuned VAG cars.

[Turby]

What the power to weight ratio of the various corsa's ?

[David]

I would think a standard Puma would be able to cope with all but the GSI's, which would be on par maybe. How many bhp has a mk1 GSI got?

early 100's i think

[BenF]

looks to me as though they are only interested in taking on cars they know they can beat - don't want egg on face!

A Focus RS should be enough to dispose of all the Corsa's.

A Focus RS should be enough to dispose of all the Corsa's.

Not necessarily so, unless they are all standard...have you seen/heard a lightened Corsa running a highly tuned 2.0 16V? The only Corsa bit might be the shell...

I've seen an FRS on track with such cars and it looked like it was going backwards.

Sorry, should have said. I meant tuned Focus vs tuned Corsa. :twisted:
They seem to be heading towards the Renault direction anyway, the Clio's are rapid! :shock: Noticed a guy on the Saxo forum too who has a 165bhp VTS that's done a 12.something 1/4 mile IIRC. :eyes:

One of the 2.0L conversions is 160BHP with a said 0-60 of 7 secs, but there seems so much weight in the car with bodykits and shiny roll cages that it might not actually be that quick....who knows!?

[FPR newboy]

u find most of the 2ltr lads have the cars stripped out so power the weight come in to play

[BenF]

Nadine - that you are a Corsa owner means nothing. My g/f owns one and longs to let me drive my kat. I once let her drive it the last 300yds to my house on the last day of my week's free insurance from Fordinsure when I first bought the car.

That was 2 years ago and she has still not been behind the wheel since.

[BOK]

I am a corsa owner:P

You have my sincerest sympathy :wink:

One day you may own a car that actually turns with the steering wheel

Not all bad, I doubt there is a car that is cheaper to own, especially the 1.0L 12V version.

Hello. This was previously an inflammatory comment about Corsas, but have removed it as I don't want to upset people. Sorry.
