A nova with the same spec will cost less and always beat a corsa in a race. Nova's dont look like girls cars either 
My Nova is in TV in a couple of weeks.

1.8 16v Corsa C is 8.5 0-60 and 125mph.
Out of a standard GSi's league. Mildy tuned the GSi should take the 0-100.
But then Mantzel now have inlet manifolds for the new 1.4 16v/1.8 16v engines so in effect the SRi should whoop ass.
GM quote 8s to 62mph
Dbalis also have these inlets are are better than manztel
8s to 62 for a corsa 1.8 SRi is correct.
It's the 1.8 Astra that takes 8.5 to 62.

You can get anything to go fast. Its how quickly it gets there.
I think he was talking about 0-60, in reference to the 2.82 nova.
