There's more to it than just a plastic upper inlet manifold

The best thing about Tigras is the fact that you cant shut the boot without one of the front doors open to releve the air pressure!

i think tigras are alright... this girls car stuff is nonsense.
if you like it buy it. a corsa looks a bit girly when standard, but it is easily sorted.

I am suprised you said this beardy. Its not just the different manifold. Compression ratios were different between the C16 and X16. Peak torque was lower in the C16 and worked better with the gearbox with lower down torque hence the better 0-60 time. The top speed of the GSi is 121 mph, but the Tigra could reach 126mph because of improved aerodynamics. 0-60 is identical between the Corsa Sport 1.6 and Tigra 1.6
