id say they are quite quick mate, im toyin on the idea on whether to get one,

people say they are a disapointment for a 1.8 but then again most new cars are a disapointment. id say you could get it to mid sevens.

Not sure about mid sevens. My Ibiza Cupra 1.8 turbo reaches 60 in the mid sevens and thats much quicker than a 1.8 Sri Corsa.

Painz has probably looked into more power, might be worth asking him to see what he found out.

well if there runnin 8 to 60, i think a 4-2-1 manifold, full system, filter and remap mite take it down to about 7.6/7.8

thats mid sevens to me

You get used to the power pretty quickly, but keeps up with most things.

Can keep up with Vts untill you get to corners, lol. Buit that all depends on drivers

I love mine and they do have tuning potential depending on how much you wanna spend.

The 1.8 sri is very quick, i have got the 1.4 sri, with a few little mods, an they hammer me. they are very good at top end, i can get about 125-126mph on a flat road and they go past me quite easily
