Finally i got the chance to drive AP Racing's corsa tonight. (was dropping the laydee home)
Good lord Anup's car is powerful.. Have never driven a car over 150bhp, but this 280bhp Turbo BEAST is just plain nutts..
Dicked a BMW 325 on the way home too (Anup if your reading this dont worry mate i kept good care of your baby )
Was going down a really straight road near me A413, and was happily going around 50mph, when this nonce in a Bummer comes up behind "The Beast" and sits on my bumper for a while, then makes its move to overtake me......... errr BIG mistake mate. Knocked it down a gear and buried the pedel, "SEE YA".. was a bit of a bitch to control, but was tres tres fun...
I dont think i want my car as powerful tho
Anup mate, i have no idea how you drive that car all the time... Its far too crazy.
Wicked fun tho.....
Steve..

Nismo - Pics of what?? Tonight?? Nah cos i was too busy holding on for dear life
Tim/PaulW - These engines are silly power. I think the standard 205bhp would be a little easier to drive. But thats still gonne be crazy
@ 3,000-4000 RPM the Turbo kicks in Silly warp speed that is..

I'm thinkin of about 250-260bhp when I get it all sorted, but duno how much will be lost thru the transmission/gearbox!
Probs only end up with about 220 @ the wheels, if that, but even so... Silllly power!!

Yeah although maybe I'll just mod up my C20XE... unsure of my car's future...
It's nice being NA as the turbo kicking in may cause a few traction probs
Deffo need more power already

hence why I'm replacing the rear-section of the floorplan with something a little different
