and we all know speedo's are out, so would prob read 160mph

ever topped yours out nic? surely it would do 180mph+ if geared right? not sure id ever want a corsa to go any faster, not exactly aerodymanic

Why does everyone assume a car will be at least 10mph out?

Ive done just over 155 in my mates mapped astra, and it was reading 152 on nav

i doubt he regretted spending the money on a nice new vxr

who'd want to be in a mk3 astra on a freezing winters morning where it takes half hour to warm up and isn't as good driving around town as the vxr?



The mk3 probably heats up just as quick as the VXR tbh.

A mk3 Gsi with even just a lightly fettled LET(maybe some phase chips and an exhaust etc) would trounce a VXR from a rolling start.

VXR8 is an awesome car and i'm glad you put the guy in the porsche in his place somewhat




I found the limiter in 6th in mine

Was 144mph on satnav iirc


That was due to fad and tonys convoy skills in Germany

Drives supercharged Tec with torque

Not raced much in the CTR, can keep with scoobies (Not STI's) in the dry no problem... (note in the dry, in the wet no chance).

Quickest I've been in the CTR is 130 (on the clocks) Hitting VTEC in 6th is what it's all about

the fun of annoying people in a lambo with a corsa is almost undescribable. especially being able to back off a bit to let them catch up.
