LAG

Just had a play with a black Vauxhall Corsa in the Halifax area, i have a Bugeye WRX with a few mods and the Corsa almost kept up with me especially out of the corners and I wasnt holding back!

Anybody know what hes running under there?

Corsa-C with a Z20LET probably. 200+bhp depending on turbo and mapping.

They are quick little cars. What colour was it. I am a CCUk member so could find out what car it is.

It was the older one, didnt look anything special, in black, alloys and blacked out windows, was just extremely quick!!

Fastest Corsa C from factory was the 1.8 sri and that in standard form is not that quick. No way could that keep up with a wrx, so imo it would definetly be modded. Most likely a turbo'd lump.

Is yours a classic or newage? what's yours running atm?

The older corsas can fit other big Vauxhall engines like calibre ones etc. Its a fairly common mod from what I understand. Its the same as MK2 golfs that put MK3 VR6 lumps in them.

A while ago I was driving through a 30 that ends at some lights and then goes right onto 2 lane national speed limit. All the way through the 30 I had a Vauxhall Van right up my *** so I though as soon as the lights change I will boot it.
I was in a 2002 STi running a little over 300bhp. Now although it the van didnt overtake or anything it certainly didnt vanish from sight. I can only assume Vauxhall owners have some little tricks.....

Important thing is he didnt do you... It was only almost.

My mates a Vauxhall specialist and has just built a 2ltr turbo Corsa C using the engine out of the GSI turbo Astra. Its running a stage 3.5 conversion for 300bhp and is absolutely mental. There are 5 of these conversions in the country at the moment so it could have been one of these. On the other hand a 1.8sri with a properly sorted chassis would handle really well and accelerate well with them being pretty light weight.

A young kid will take all sorts of risks to beat someone, they don't think about the consequences....

I had an ancient Polo give me some grief a year or so back, 340 bhp STI. On closer inspection it had "Carlos Fandango" wheels and a turbo motor, even though it looked a shed. I stayed well away as he's likely to have no insurance, and thus not give a sh*t who he hits.

imho

Seems like opel/vauxhall is going to give us a run for the money with their new opc v6 insignia version 4wd

Used my brothers old Corsa GSI with redtop and it went like stink, on the striaghts a scoob just could'nt go past. Bloody thing went through driveshafts like nobody's business though.

Not a chance. No way a 1.8 SRi would get anywhere near a Scoob. They don't handle really badly, even as standard, but mid range torque is pretty pathetic.

They're also quite heavy for a small car.

My 1.7 corsa SRI diesal would outrun the 1.8 SRI petrol on motorways (177lbs/ft tourque) I sold it back to the dealership for cash, buyer waiting, apparently the new version is not as popular. The scooby's on a different planet compared to it though.
