i think a std XE corsa has less power than the vxr but i'd guess the corsa B would be lighter...TBH i think the vxr would fair pretty well against a 2 ltr

not sure, 180bhp 1.6 turbo (new engine) against a corsa b with a few years old engine that was 150bhp, but could be much less now. i'd say the corsa would be slightly quicker, unless its a really mint redtop thats been taken care of, u never know, power to weight ratio and all that.... perhaps someone could find out soon, ill try and arrange it when we get one in at work soon for a race against a 2.0 corsa!!

5.5? Erm, no. Try about 7sec in a corsa.

How much does the VXR weigh?
My money is on the vxr. Unless XE is tuned or stripped.
