Scooby v Corsa thread... great Friday night reading
 

you just gotta read this....

Corsa Sport - for Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa and Barina


don't you just love um ;)

:lol1: very funny . the crap some people come out with!

bet he now has a sticker on the rear bumper saying "scooby slayer". :thumb: :lol1:

where do you get on from? lol

:lol1: Bless 'em

There was a Nova SR in my town years ago with the sticker 'You been Nova-taken!!' :D

Suprisingly some sensible people on their as well though. I was expecting everyone to pat him on the back and say that the corsa is the fastest car on the world lol Not the case if you read.

It also amuses me that the so called Impreza experts on these forums all think that newage cars are slow due to being a bit heavier than the classic. Out of the box the heaviest of all the saloon Impreza STIs is 0-60mph in 5.1secs which is quicker than most of the standard classic turbos with the exception of a few special editions. They also handle a lot better.

Not knocking the classic, it was a monster of a car out of the box in it's time and still is today if modified... but come on... reality check anyone...

Hehe at least my P1 wont get scooby slayed...i hope :D

the classic, it was thecar to get 5.2secs 0-60 on topgear.. many years ago now.. many years.... out the box ;)

To be fair to the guy he did admit it was a GL later on. Good reading though.

If the new age is better than the classic,why do Zen and RCM use classics in their time attack cars?:wonder:
For raw fun per pound,you can't beat an RA.

kinda right about the LET's tho in the dry,been handed my ass a few times by a local one here

i dont care if a corsa and would leave me standing in my wagon i wouldnt ever own one 2.0 or 1.1 lol , plus id like to see it do a sport on thewet at a standing start lol ok thats my 2p lol

Reread my post.

The reason classics are used by tuners is because they have a lighter car to start from and they are also a cheaper base car.

"was it a non turbo scoob " - "yeah it was a impreza "GL"

Great kill :thumb:

He's gonna have one of them stickers off JDMDecals.com which is a Pac Man eating STi but change it to GL aint he?

Credit to that forum for having a few members acting as the voice of reason..... the sign of a good forum :thumb:

Santa Pod Corsa v Scoob day would be a good outing.

Track day even better :)

I like to drive quick in sensible situations, ie. back roads, I was overtaken in a 40mph zone through my old village the other day by a Corsa GSi.

Now i'm sure he'll be telling all his pub mates when he reaches the legal drinking age how he hammered it passed a Scoob STI but whether he lets slip he was doing 70+mph in a 40mph zone is another matter.

Obviously we've all be there, but I never remember doing crazy sh*t like this or bragging about the impossible.

Whats a LET Corsa? Sounds ****!

its a corsa with a turbo engine.

the LET is basically the anatation that vauxhall use to signify that the engine is turbo charged

XE is for NA engines

the calibra turbo engine was a c20LET (2litre turbo charged)
the mk3 astra GSI enigne often reffered to as a redtop was a c20XE (a 2litre NA engine)

also get the Z20LET which is the newer version of the turbo chagred engine in the mk4 astra GSI

and then to really add confussion the astra VXR engine is a Z20LEH with the H standing for high output even tho this is a turbo charged engine

HTH

Cheers dude! Very informative!!

Its a corsa with the 2.0 litre turbo engine as found in the cavalier/calibra 4x4 turbo.

Corsas are usually transplanted with either the c20XE engine (2.0 16v) or the c20LET engine (2.0 16V turbo)....2 litre turbos can be dammed quick in a straight line but can also be found wheel spinning in fourth gear in the wet lol:lol1:

Cheers mate but please see post 18...

Lol must have been in the middle of posting at the same time and missed that:thumb:

there is a guy called specki on migweg forums he brags about always beating a scooby

i would if i had an 11 second tigra :thumb:

YouTube - SEE YA SPECKYS TIGRA

:lol:

:notworthy

whos is that scoob? power its running?

Just read through and found this,

"Civic would of gone passed both the cars without any effort just on it's way to pick up some burgers from McDonalds" :nono:

Behave sunshine (unless of course he is talking about the GL still) !!

dunno but there was an issue with that tigra and bannysti's scoob,there was a big post on here and on migweb about it.If he could control the wheelspin it would be a 10 sec car,the terminals on the quarter are very high,second in class at TOTB last year not bad for a tigra

My mates got a calibra redtop in a corsa and its running 15.0 qtr mile (his 1st time) but theres no way his corsa is gonna rip my scooby.

the "redtop" engine is the C20XE engine,150 bhp out the box,should be good for mid 14's with suspension mods and a decent driver,mod it properly and you have a different machine,my local car club has a corsa on TB's with quaife diff and closer ratio box (F16) and runs 13.3 which would put a few scoobs to the sword on the quarter.LET engine is 204 bhp out teh box in a car that weights under a ton,maybe slower off the line but when rolling they are very quick.....in a straight line :D
