Maybe not Hmmm

but cough "wan*er" cough

Its certainly feasible for a 450-500 BHP Corsa to exist. And some of the spec sounds plausible.

But "jumping off the rollers" and "Twists the shell" Thats just pure crap!

They decided not to fit the turbo as it was so powerful it twisted the carbon shell apart

If it's a 1.2 on the log book but a 2.2 engine, it's illegal to start with nevermind the insurance, the tax is wrong aswell as it will be taxed as a 1.2.

Also the engine on the picture looks like an old Astra 2.0L engine, which means it's been bored out as a 2.2.

Also the wide boy bodykit won't give it any more strength to the chassis.

It says on the ad that it wheel spins in 6th gear at 120mph, are you sure they didn't wrap it round a tree doing that to find out and thats how it's twisted.

Whether the spec is true or false, I wouldn't buy on the strength of the poor advert...
