The throttle on my corsa b was really heavy/stiff when I bought it so I got the throttle body cleaned out (under warranty) and now its nice and light and far far more responsive...but when I pull away, i.e. little race at the lights (naughty ) it sorta snakes...is this normal?! Its a 1.6i 16v sport on a T plate...I haven't had it long but I think it does 0-60 quicker than wot it says in the book (about 9.3secs or something like that) maybe its been modded in some way b4 I've bought it, any way of finding out?! ...I'm just wondering y it sorta swerves n pulls a bit when pulling away at speed?

Cheers in advance

Yes used to......i sold it! I think the only way to prevent it is to be a little lighter on your right foot.
