can't decide weather to put a xe in my red 8v corsa or buy one of these, as i have allways wanted one (a ford capri 280 brooklands)
thing is a xe in a corsa will make a very good car, which are fast, and i plan to keep it looking as it is, just lower
but what i keep thinking is its still a corsa, a capri is a legend of a car

Yea, it would be slightly more logical to put a Ford engine in a Ford, rather than a GM... But it would be amazing with an XE, plus cossie lumps are pretty hard to get hold of, and cost a fair whack...

Get the capri - otherwise a XE corsa will be faster than your 1.4 tuned corsa and so you'll only ever drive the XE
