Plus your maths are shady anyway. 120bhp Puma - some weight = 0-60 in 6 seconds.

People on here say their xe corsa do 0-60 in around 6 seconds, and they onoy have 30bhp more but also weigh more, yet no one bats an wyelid at those figures.

Around 30bhp more but also around 35lb/ft more torque which will make a difference.

Its not a wild claim seeing as the Astra Gte 16v will hit 60 in around 7s, and the Corsa will be lighter. Between 6.5 and 7s for a healthy XE Corsa isn't too bold a claim tbh.

PH thread gave me a good read last night, I really like Steve's thread and it was quite funny seeing the PH resident knobheads get shot down by the majority by the end of it all.

Ever considered a Kit Car Steve? I've read some amazing project threads in the past and seen some excellent design/fabrication go into them.

Only me and my mate that I know, I'm helping him test his new (old) BMW race car and I might take my civic on. Can always set up next to us
