never thought a corsa (without like 500bhp) would have the aerodynamics to hit 170mph+
but if a fester can do it then why the hell not!!??
What sort of power does this fester make? What about sunny b's?

thats bloody impressive that  
although, there is the minty green corsa C in Holland that i remember reading a review about in TV a year or two ago that did 170 (odd)mph out running a dodge viper and it still had a few more revs to go.....
but still, thats impressive

shame about that type R sticker though. if he wanted to rebadge it should have gone for RS badging.

impressive but id hate to be in it at that speed.
And timrud_ without having a speedo you cant really judge what speeds your doing , i find it hard to belive that your spec is capable of that speed, fast yes but that top end

You can equate the speed using the rev counter and wheel diameter... I think!
but like Nemo said, cant see it happening myself! Not in a corsa. Not without 500bhp

And you remember I have the length of the motorway to pull that speed in. I'll get a good video camera and proove all shall I?

AND! I'd never rely on a speedo over 100mph anyway, so the fact I dont have one really doesnt matter does it?

a reliable gps device might give a better indication of true speed. Borrow one ,then post up some nice vids.
