Why? What do you know of the configuration? All the weight over the driven wheels and an otherwise light shell? Yeah that will never have good traction will it?

Because its similar to fitting a corrado engine to a mk1 golf and then finding out the golfs is 2-3 seconds quicker to 60mph, which would make the golf super car fast with a standard engine you could pick up for £300-400

No filter will be fine on the strip mate, for comic affect you could root the pipe out the arch and up the side of the window (like a snorkel on a landy)

the ET does look rather fast for the car (havent read anything about it, but assuming 800kg with heavy V6 over driven wheels). Must be 180bhp or so?!?
Look at the 1.8 6oft though!? IF that is all legit that is where the good time has come from.
Thats pretty much the 60ft time for a well launched mildly modded Evo/Impreza.
I couldnt get near that in my Corsa (850ish kg, 200bhp, low pressure 048Rs)  Best I ever managed was a 2.0 I think.
I need to search on here for my 1/4mile times

If it is from an SRI Vectra it will be 167, if it is from a GSI or has the cams, it will be just over 190bhp, standard.

As Nic says, it's basically GSI spec plus a couple of mods so will be 200bhp

I am 99% sure a V6 Corsa, even with a 3.2V6 unless massively modified would not hit a sub 5 second 0-60
Mate done 0-60 at 5.6 3.0 with all seats in and nothing stripped etc etc. Can't post link but just type in corsa mr2 eater on youtube and its the 1st vid you see white gsi

i did a run against a 550bhp civic who had go pros on and re watched them , i killed him, the timing slip said he did a 11.2 and i did a 11.9 even tho i finished first , but the board with the times on said he did a 11.2 and i did a 10.9, even got videos of it saying that time, i went and complained and the steward said meh the timing gear says what it wants to say some times , show us the vid and we will accept that time
