You'll reach 135 maybe 140 on the limiter

For top speed you might aswell take the top speed of the Astra, weight has nothing to do with overall max speed. I reckon 135 would be pretty good, I've had 120 in mine but I'm pretty sure the clocks under read and I ran out of road!

Please remember the 2 different F20's that were built........close and wide.......and according to what many people have said, and what i've seen, it is NOT stamped on the box. The only way to find out, is to drive a car with the box in.
The one you have will make quite a difference to your 0-60 and top speeds.
I'd say Adam had a CR by the looks of it! WR will give a slower 0-60, but on a long straight road, u'll see a higher top speed, and better fuel consumption on a motorway run.

yup..... Its a bit debateable..... you will struggle to get a clear answer to the 2 F20box question.
But i'd deff say mine is closer than a lot.

Me haves a WR F20. AS said, mines at about 130+ at about 6500rpm.
Also found out that the standard rev limiter is abot 6800rpm and not 7000rpm as i thought. Rev counter over reads also.
Not sure if i believe that yet though.

But ur 1/4 mile times dont show that? I've seen basic stripped out corsas, with standard XE's runnign 14.6 odd. I know urs is 14.4, but then u';ve got feck all interior, light brakes, light wheels etc.
.200 isn't really that much.

on a 1/4mile it is!
a standard xe in a std corsa will struggle to do 14.6 all day...
my bucket did about 4 or 5 14.4's and 6 14.5's in one day.
traction is a major issue.... i get humped off the lights then pass most of them in 2nd and 3rd.... (other c20 corsa's/Nova's that is)
it beat a cammed up c20xe'd corsa B 3 times out of 3..... (supposed 180bhp)
beat a c20let corsaB 2 times out of 2 (eh craig  )
only been beat by one c20xe'd nova that i have raced - it was a 2.1 on cams
