How much power and what mods would it take for it to beat a 2.0 16v corsa ? ? ?
Going on a standerd c20xe.
They have to be pretty tuned wont they ?

Would take a very big lump of cash. Cheaper to do a conversion

A powerbox/exhaust/higher rev limit 1.6 16v corsa should stick on a 2.0 16v rear end up to about 70-80mph where the extra 2.0 power and torque will pull it clear.
