ive been offered one already but is completely standard. that standard it doesnt even have an alarm installed so ill be staying clear of that. should get a good spec'd one for around the same monies as mine so hopefully a straight swap in the end.
kevs old one had a stinking front bumper, lol. it didnt suit the car at all.
the sirs are around 170bhp are they not?

Tbh the whole cheaper car argument only comes from people who wish they could afford a better car anyway so I laugh at those comparisms.

Then that was your choice, but I doubt the guy with a 10k ST is even remotely bothered by being beaten by a 2k corsa cause guess what..........it's a corsa

chrisritch ur local to me.......... fancy coming to mine to call me a cunt to my face old buddy old pal?????

its funny im fully aware of where my xe came from........ and its modified its just nobs like you who cant accept they are quite nippy...... i also own a mk4 astra gsi turbo with stage 1 230bhp come over to mine and you drive my xe corsa and ill drive my astra......... if u cant get it my corsa is as quick just about

ur the thick twat for not actually reading what i wrote i SAID performace alone an xe corsa will keep with a type r all day long in every other aspect the type r is better........... if u read what i wrote u would get this.....

ill change my phrasing on how cars have gone backwards as maybe i wrote abit too interlectual for you, tech-nol-ogy has mov-ed on but per-formance has not and even if it has moved on with cer-tain models its by a very small margin


all said and done i dont give a toss who cars is quicker or has more/less power etc etc cos racing on the road is pointless anyways which is why i only us my xe for trackdays now really my motorbike blitz's my bosses db9 who cares db9 is still better

graham the whole thing about not being able to afford a better car is bullshit, why do i own a 2.0 corsa yet after christmas will be handing over 13k for m3??????????????? mmmmmmmmmm

Performance alone... I thought braking and handling were performance aspects

Aye Scott, SiR's are 170 with aircon etc so a 185bhp ek9 should be quicker!

true eck but now we are heading into a new discussion now what if the perfromance is measured over 1/4 mile or even 1/2 mile etc or any other style of measurment lol

tbh i may sound biased but i can keep up with my friend type r all day long straight or twisty road but then again so can my mate in his 106 gti so again who cares will take a brave/skilled driver to pull way from the corsa and pug in reality lets face it...... but just for the record so i dont get flamed THE TYPE R IS THE BETTER CAR but dont change the above does it

sorry internetz hard man


if your trying to sound smart, dont spell intellectual incorrectly you prick.

second of all.

your comparing a corsa hatchback with an engine from something for which it was not designed.

the focus st is a hatchback with the engine ford meant it to have, you cannot say that performance hasnt moved forward because its a modification that has done it.

oh yeah, and your a cunt

i see the fan boys that know fuck all are here again.

chrisritch is a cock and knows fuck all.

performance hasnt moved on in certain models i.e. ep3 ctr.it has pretty much the same straight line performance as an old 90's hot hatch,so no they are not fast at all.

why do you need to be a brave/skilled driver to pull away from an XE corsa?
Are they all driving god's?

In my personal experience that's all I've found. I munch XE Corsas easily, and I've raced a few so I'm not really bothered about such comments. Even if one did beat me I'm still in a modern comfy car so it's such a stupid comparism....

I have lots of fun in my more expensive car, so that's your theory out the window too

so what its got 200bhp,that don't make it a performance car.

stop being a fanboy and trying to comment when you know fuck all.

have you actually owned/driven any of the cars mentioned?

[Edited on 10-12-2010 by craig_s]


Irony. Saying someone else knows fuckall. Do you base all hot hatches on how much power they have? For it's all round performance, the CTR was the top dog for years. I'm aware an XE would be just as quick, if not quicker in a straight line as I've sat up the arse of a couple in my old Corsa, but that doesn't mean it's shit. In any other circumstance, the CTR is the superior car.


im talking straight line speed,oh and old ctr's may have been but the ep3 is NOT.

your saying i know fuck all yet you agree with me,you must know fuck all too then.
