Yeah but at least a Sierra Cosworth was a lovely car in its day and can still hold its own with the modern day car.
Although I saw a standard Saph cosworth the other day and thought it looked very normal... It must have been the only standard one surviving??
Just too many reverse cap wearing people have got there hands on them... the Scooby will go the same way.. unfortunatly..
Still some tasteful Cosworths about though... just not many.

We seem to be failing though!!!
We could stop selling them... then maybe it might work!
Right no one sell their Scooby from now on...
If you want a new car just simply write it off... (done this once already!) then the insurance gets more expensive to, keeping the club more exclusive too

PS: It was an accident I wrote one off honest!

He may have a controller for it.....
Don't judge it just because its not a fast car to start with.... I for one wouldn't want to take him on down the strip...
NOS will not make your car go bang as long as you know what your doing with it...

I'm on about straight line I.E. 1/4 mile as the corsa wouldn't stand a chance on a bend... So driver skill isn't really required as you don't have to turn the wheel just operate a pedal
Anyway ain't going to argue about corsa's as I don't like them very much I just respect other car drivers as fellow car lovers and don't slag off things just because it's not my cup of tea....

Heh, but I've got to hand it to them little corsas, they are really nippy as I found out while playing with one a few months back. The only fault I can see is understeer but thats to be expected.

Sorry but I wouldnt dream of fitting this to my road car, maybe a sunday afternoon drag strip special but to my normal everyday transport . I can imagine the bill when it goes bang. As a well known scoobynetter said to me "The fast and furious" will have a lot to answer for and now I believe him .

Guys and Gals,
I find this a little bizarre, after all this is other marques and at the end of the day the corsa is another 'marque'.... Albeit not quite in the same league as a Scoob !
I for one find it a feat of engineering that this can be done, and it does quite amuse me enough to read the article and think hats off to them regardless of the politics of the people that do this and the reasons why !
Give them a break, after all each to their own!
Regards,
Paul

Not much fun writting your car off, or heavily damaging it . Luckily its never happended to me. My comment wasnt about corsa but the fitting of nitrous to any road going car.
After reading the rest of the thread I do wonder though how much of his 25K he would get back on an insurance claim though. Probably cheaper to rebuild the car.
cheers
