But it's a big factor in this argument as the corsa has no comfy features and rherfore weighs less, a massive factor in racing/fast cars, a point most people are missing in this thread

no one asked about the features of each car so theres no point talkin about it,no one asked which car is better either because thats obvious.

i have an idea for you! get your little bad selves down the local duel track and see what happens there, if he does happen to pull on you swerve into him and take out the side of his focus. if you had anything about you my friend then commen sence will tell that you dont really stand a chance in ur 2.0 n.a against somthing 2.5 none n.a
rant over so find somthing better todo in your spare time like go teaching you nan how to suck eggs

graham88 says you cant compare those cars due to the fact the focus has leather seats ect,so the outcome of that race is irrelevant

Well here is your answer in a long story made short. A standard corsa with just a redtop engine dropped in (because thats what the thread title says. no mention of any other mods to the redtop engine, or any other part of the corsa).
The corsa will not win on a straight or the twisties. you may get a semi, or a hardon depending on how long you may stay with the ST for before it pulls away.
You can 'modify and tune' the corsa by spending ££££ on the engine, suspension, wheels, tyres etc and depending on what power its running there is a high chance it will take the ST on a straight or bendy roads, but then you can spend all that money on an old car for what? the sake of it beating an ST.

& if you spent that same money on an ST even though you wouldn't get as much mods for your money the ST would pull away even more.

The redtop would decimate all with maybe 10k or more with overnight parts from Japan.

or if you have 10k, mins 2k for a ready made redtop corsa and spend 8k you will have a better car and then you can say a 90s hatchback is better than a 10k focus.
