My mates a lucky b@stard and owns a 2.0 hyundai coupe, its the first series, t reg i think, its totally standard engine wise, if i had a 2.0 16v put in my corsa would he still whoop my arse between 0-60 and top speed? What would i need to put him in my rear view mirror?

Cheers, Jamie

ps- not sure but i think he said its got 138bhp, thought it would have more?

theres a few nice modded ones around my way.

my tastes only but i think a really offensive rear wing that would look stupid on any other car seems to really suit these.

In that case a 2.0 16v in your corsa really should take him... Never come across one personally so couldn't confirm that though...

Um, I've never done it

You certainly can't take your attention off the road, no... It's not really about top speed though -- when do you really want to do 135...

1.6 16v Engine with TBs / Skimmed heads / Ported+Polished etc should be able to whoop him.

Just imagine 160 bhp and 150 lb-ft in a car that weighs under a tonne... People aren't lying, but don't expect to beat silly cars... (No racing Supra's or shit like that)

the early 2.0 coupes were swift. 8.1s on paper, 7.5ish in reality. Dad's mate had a black one.....but my bro still whooped him in his 2.0 nova

a standard valver corsa should beat one in a straight line, but you wont out handle it.
