I've driven a few RWD cossies, they a better than a fwd car in every way! The spin less because the car squats on the back wheels FACT.

Your obviously very stupid or on the wind up, so I'll leave you alone now LOL

some good valid points here, everything i posted is from experience and facts that i have seen, without being cocky if i raced a gti round any track in my let im confident of taking it, if we were to swap cars and i drove the gti im confident i'd lick my let with the inexperienced driver in it

but i suppose 0-10mph isnt long enough to brag about really

That Corsa sounds like a proper little weapon! I think I still prefer the throttle bodies than a turbo on a light front wheel drive though!

Are you using an TBLSD?

depends on driver matt, like i said previous i used hard on/off throttle stops the constant build up of power so it doesnt all come at once

No LSD on mine, I perfer not to use sharp on and off blip of the throttle in favour of smooth actions on the peddle, but each to their own!
