Which is quicker do you think, both as of standard. Coz them Rallye's are pretty quick. Im on about a 2.0 Corsa / Nova VS a 1.6 Rallye 106..
So.. Just curious!

the S2 Rallye is 50 bhp down, so i'll agree on what SetH has said.

^ Why's that? A Rallye hasn't got the acceleration like a 20xe. They aint that quick, standard ones can't even keep with VTS's can they?
Thanks anyway tho mate.

they arent that quick in a straight line granted. but in the right hands this car will be very similar to a 106 GTi on track. It has less power but is lighter.
a standard 106 rallye/gti chassis is leagues ahead of even a modded corsa/nova in terms of handling.

iirc the kerb weight of a 1.6 sport is 950kg? dont know if thats with air con and elec windows though.
i would guess a 2.0 closer to a ton? if stripped maybe low to mid 900kg?
s1 1.3 rallye is 800kg i think, the S1 is closer to 850.

A corsa with the 2ltr weights about a ton, mine did anyways
As for straight line speed, I would imaging there bein nothin in it till 80+mph
As for on a track the corsa/Nova aint really got a look in

^ LOl, no but may aswell carry the thread on. It is a kinda dumb question, obviously the Corsa/Nova would leave it.

power isn't everything on the track 
lad of novaload who used to run a 1.4 t40 nova could have 2.0 16v nova's off on the track, couldn't have them on the strights, but as soon you he got a bend he was all over them
