Clio 172
Cupra 215bhp odd (think its that, not a leon, the smaller one).
Saxos, byeeeeeeeeee
Golf GTi (mk4)
Audi A3's
Couple of mercs
Corsas

Not had that many races tbh. Racing is dangerous on public roads.

106GTi / VTS will be left behind above 60mph

172/182 clios are a good match, cup would have a slight advantage

206 GTi, gets lost above 60mph
206 GTi 180, a match I should think!

I got coilovers on mine too, and will have a strut brace eventually too so it handles pretty well. Handles better already with only th front suspension fitted (havent had time to do the rear). I had a guy in a 1.8 audi at the lights next to me the other day, laughing and revving his engine, then the lights changec and he soon stopped laughing. Stopped at next set of lights about a mile down the road, looked over at him and he looked kinda embarassed, then i just let him get on with it.

All the people that say it probably haven't even sat in the passanger seat

Funny how XE/LET owners say otherwise

It's exactly the same thing as people cussing the CTR's who haven't been in one....

If you haven't been in an XE corsa, don't discuss the handling until you have... Personally I almost prefer my car now -- feels a little more in contact with the road....

PS: Lightweight wheels rock

my corsa handles better than my sri did, because if i feed the power in through a corner gradually the car sticks to the road better than my 1.4 did

The bloke even came on this website asking who it was he raced ion the way back from southers Deffo around 215bhp.
One of these i think



Adam K was his name, used to have a Yellow Saxo. Used to kinda know him hence why he came on here asking for me

havent been in a fast corsa yet but this is exactly what i would have thought about the handling. the extra power would have the affect of pulling the car straight.

lots of fun i would thingk also.
