considering it has the advantage of a Turbo, its not amazingly quick considering it was dead even with a barina SRi. must be the weight issue....

Lets not start a 106gti vs. vts, as it's pointless.

I'm going to be out of my depth in a minute But are you sure? how much does the corsa weigh again in comparison to VTS/106 ?

yes they are exactly the same in every way, the fact the 106 figures are different on paper is the way it was tested

106gti hands down IMO
on a str8 road a 106gti will keep up with an XE corsa until around 70mph/80mph before it gets left but hit the twisties and a 106gti or saxo vts will kill the corsa.
there lighter then the 1.8 SRi and have about the same bhp dont they? the gti also has a gr8 little revvy engine. Alot of people underestimate these cars and the vts

not really. I have a 1.8 sri (well it belongs to the missus) I have also owned a 2 litre corsa and lots of other hothatches over the years.
the 106 gti doesnt keep up with a 2 litre corsa until 80mph at all. the corsa leaves it rather easily infact
up to 80 mph the corsa 1.8 sri is almost identical to a Vts or 106Gti. although the weight advantage that the saxo/106 has through the corners is a big advantage and on twisty roads the corsa would lose out.
but give me a 1.8 sri anyday over a tinny french box. for the fun factor the corsa puts a smile on my face, handles well from standard, EASILY outbrakes a 106/saxo and has a much more solid feel to it. I would rather have the knowledge that if I crashed I am likely to survive rather than be 0.7 seconds faster through a corner than the next car.....

Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said "I'll give you one dollar"
I said "you got to be jokin' man,
it was a present from me Mother"
He said "I like it, I want it,
I'll take it off your hands
And you'll be sorry you crossed me
You'd better understand that you're alone,
A long way from home!"

Ive never been in a 1.8 SRi so i wouldnt know m8 notice the IMO at the end 
Ive never had a race with a 106gti but i have the VTS which is more or less identical in weight and has the same engine does it not? I have a C20XE Corsa, myself and many others i know or have spoke to with XE corsas will tell you the VTS keeps up until about 3rd gear before it starts to get left behind. I said 70/80 but its probably more like 60mph when it gets left
p.s i too would rather have the Corsa over the VTS\106gti but they are loads of fun around the twisties but i wouldnt want to crash in one.
