I'm sorry but we should all go to a track because there is no way on earth a corsa with that much power is going to be any good unless its a straight road. Unless Nasa popped round and did some work on the handling la la la la la la
when did Nasa start tuning the handling of peoples cars

Take you england flags off first lads as they might create too much drag.
Joking aside I'm sure your corsa's are quite sweet, but I'm not going to believe the handling thing as I've owned a corsa before.
Any vids of your cars on track doing bigger cars? That would shut me if I could see a bit of proof guys as your claims are quite out there tbh

Like I said I have no doubts your motors a right old rocket hense why I'm not saying your cars slow. If I saw you at the lights id go the other way lol.
You not done a track day so it's hard for you to know how the car will cope compared to a car thats been designed to be chucked around corners at speed. Sure you concentrate the power on the exit but some cars you can take into the corner at a better pace. I know where you are coming from but I'm pretty sure standard ctr's, cupra, mini s works, rs/st focus will be able to enter that corner and hold it at a better speed. Only one way to find out though so look forward to seeing some track footage in the future

Tim_rud's didn't do too shabby on the track did it? might be vids of that. It's another one of those modify the 106/ctr the same level and see which handles best things though ! there is *nobody* that can argue that a standard 106 gti suspension set-up doesn't out handle a stand corsa gsi set-up.

Dave A how about you go do a 1/4 mile and then come back with some real facts on how super quick your car is.
Matt H was struggling to get into high 14's in his 2.0 on TB's iirc and broster with 180 bhp 1.6 16v is still struggling to get any better than mid 15's!
I think mine could easily do a 14.7 or better with good conditions and a decent clutch.
i think that i could beat a standard 106 gti with no effort if i could launch my car on the 1/4 mile. they dont seem to give me any dificulties on the road.
some cars/drivers, mine/me, aint all about the 1/4 mile
