Just curious to this. Someone I know has got one and won't shut up about it. I am always thinking of getting a Corsa C20XE, but just wondered if it would be quicker than a R5 GT Turbo.

Cheers,
Alex

Be close to 60.....after that, the 1.4 just cant cut it. Not to say they arnt fast, they just arnt as fast a 2.0.

Matt

PS: thats if they dont overheat whilst waitin to go!

His right... A valver will beat a standard R5 GT in a straight line.

Just don't foget that they can be tuned quite highly very cheap...

some R5s are fucked tho. and plus with very very little money, u can easily get 200bhp out of an R5 which are pretty rapid after that

Wouldn't say very very little money, that's hybrid turbo power which is not little money

Would be down to the specific car imo.

I'd expect them both to be 7.5ish to 60... both simlar BHP but the renult is lighter! but the Corsa will be ALOT more reliable as its just a 2.0L lump whereas the Renult is a old, small, french 8Valve 1.4 with a turbo forcing air into the engine! Put a Turbo on the Corsa and it would be a whole different story!

This was'nt my Nova, this was Rachels Corsa, I have forgotten how slow these 1.4 16v's are.

No pictures, but I did see it yesterday

Just needs the alternator fitting and the transponder wired in and its finnished.

i agree its been my experience from mates who've had them they are either knackered or VERY VERY fast, but even the tuned ones are in the garage every two mins!
