they aint lightning mate,
the corsa is a heavy car compared to the nova, due to all of the extra strength,
i dont think they are much lighter than an astra gte

why are u put of by times, there is alot more involved in running 1/4 miles than just the cars sheer power take the astra touring car that was at pvs only putting out high 13's and they have got hell of alot more power and setup for racing with right tyres weight etc etc but where not too good in my view
although they are thats the point
without a doubt the corsa is slightly quicker than gte with c20xe in and in my experience of gte's they are quick enough, lets just say you will not have any trouble from many other hot hatches on ur travels
anyway even if the c20xe is not massivly rapid they still have lots of torque and bigger capacity engine allways feels less strained when revved compared to a 1400/1600 due to the engine capacity

Wat!!! a tuned c20let slow!!!! compared to what though???
i thought these engines tuned were rapid 
or maybe because its of traction problems with high power
