That Corsa VXR looks  that pic makes me want one 
A VTS might keep up with it acceleration but top end and mid-range I would imagine the vxr would nail it and the VXR is a much better all rounder
The end

How many more threads are you going to make about this? Have you driven either of them yet? Surely the first point of call would be to drive them, not keep asking a forum full of people with opinions and no experience?

Then doesn't start, and overfuels to the point where the back end of the car is black. True story.
If you want something that you need to give absolute hell, and get rewarded by a quick fun drive, then the Clio.
But if you want something that you can plant in pretty much any gear and it'll pull brilliantly, but still be fun to drive, get the Corsa.

For the price the Corsa VXR's are going for at the moment, I would prefer an older high spec remapped Astra VXR any day of the week.
I voted white 197. Purely because it is slightly less chav than the Corsa VXR.

Highly likely his post is a sarcastic one
NOT 
My mate has a clio f1
I was in the passenger seat and watched the ecotec sri cavalier trundle passed.
I was shocked,

Most of us doubt his cavalier was doing 140 to make it even half true.
Those clio's wont do 140 either, nowhere near it,

I have driven both and for me its the VXR everytime hence why that was ordered
The arctic edition does nothing for me - if it was just white wirthout the terrible black wheels it would look ok
