hehe, here's a old (10 years old) vid off top gear.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5edHdeYsL4
testing the 4 cars against each other, clarkson doing it.
Thing is, it was 1996/1997 so the cars had only just come out.
Pug later came with sunroof and has never been slower 0-60 than the vts what bullshit.

no its not, not out the box, the gt needs 3rd to get to 60, if anything it will be after 60 if the punto is going to have the edge, no way off the mark up to 60 though.
As also proven by richy on the strip

Closest I found on YouTube was the C shape SRi and a recap of 1993 of the 1.4LS Corsa The GSi does get a mention though so I'm assuming yes they did test it.
