Not done better time than me that's done 11.1 I've done 10.6 and that nova weighs 550kgs so you can't really compare that times

Suttons is the fastest corsa on treads. He did a 10.9 with about 500bhp. Think you bought that engine didn't you Ben?

you know nothing you spastic
some people are pushing their cars on treads to see who can get the best on them, slicks are a different thing all together. fair enough if bens not fussed about treads but some run both
spastic
good luck with the 9 ben, few people going for it aren't they

Interesting read/argument.
I used to own an Xe corsa that did a 14.0 sec quarter mile. Was standard engine but the car was stripped out so I guess 13.7 is possible!
As for power to weight, it's a flawed calculation imo because depending on the vehicle, the max power is only at a certain rpm. The rest of the rev range can be far lower power. That v6 corsa will have a very good spread of power through the rev range so will be 190 bhp (or close to it) for a lot of the revs...
