dont agree with this my friend
My corsa was RRd at 127 ATW on 2 occasions and the missus GTI not far behind and hers kept up easily with mine till 90-100 after that the higher torque helped the corsa pull away

Iv heard People on the 172/182 web site say that standard VTS/GTIs do ok with them and they have the more power, Clio owners are shocked at how quick they are. the same arguments Really.. Think to a point its people trying to justyfy spending the money on a corsa+XE when they could have a GTI/VTS for same money and would prob be better

I dont like saying it but If I had a choice between a 106 gti and a 2 litre corsa I would take the 106 gti every time.
I have never been impressed by 2 litre corsas, even the one I owned and built.
