ok let me get this straight ure saying a 106 gti will beat a 2ltr corsa?
now i dont know if any engine mods are done but Adam K corsa 2ltr has has rs turbo's civic vteck's and numerous other cars up the strip
106 bering a 2ltr corsa yeah right
and a while back had a corsa v's saxo day saxo's won erm nothing
nuff said
RS turbo's are not fast cars, vtec's are not bad but not quick. just becasue the 106 is 1.6 gti and not a 2.0ltr means nothing

Both the VTS and GTI are quicker and lighter than a 1.9 205 GTI

Yes I drove Steves GTi when he was down here and I must say the pick up going from 1st to 2nd to 3rd is impressive.
But I would not say that it would beat a 2.0 16v Corsa.

Oh come along! Why the lack of love for the 300s? A mate of mine has a 400bhp turbo 360 Mine is 15 years old and has never broken down or had major mechanical work from new - currently at 120k miles. Sure they roll a bit (comfy suspension set-up from the factory), but they're a big car (same length as a BMW E30 3-series and Sierra, much as they don't look it), and they handle & go quite well all things considered.
They're safe (recent survey put them up with things like lastest Audi A3, Focus & Astra for survivability...as well as a MK2 Golf), are rear wheel drive with good weight distribution, and can be launched at 4krpm without wheelspin. Mine can do 50mpg (is a 2.0), yet can beat Saxo VTRs (that's the slower one of a VTS/VTR, right?) off the line. Plus boy racers don't like them (except me!) so the insurance is low. Finally, they engine can be a bed for a 400+bhp monster using mostly stock parts.
We've all been held up behind someone's gran in a 1.4 (renault) engined 340 variomatic, but did you guys know that a stock 360 GLT (2.0 8v injection) is good for beating a Golf GTI 8v and an XR3i of the same era?
Sadly, no-one does decent styling on them cos they're so unpopular. There are a few butchered ones out there.
But still, Max Power hate them. Ignorance is bliss I say
cheers
