In this case it was the corsa! hahaha had a little play with one down some spine roads, came to a set of lights and i noticed him hammering it towards me in my rear view. was sat behind me so moved off on green and was hitting each gear change like a beauty! bout quarter mile down road there was a roundabout, was pulling on him all the way. i let him pull aside me at the roundabout, he was laughing as he couldnt believe a corsa would do that, said he just bought it and he may go back to the dealer and get a refund! he was quite plesent unlike many others who get angry. gave me the thumbs up as i turned left to go to the supermarket.  Still want one though!

I own a Corsa XE and even I know theyre quite quick, but not quick enough to PULL on a vxr. I kept up with a mk4 GSi, that was about it.

maybe it was my mirror becoming slowly more concave due to the CTR hitting the VTEC in a neighbouring county sending shock waves through the air and making small children run home for safety.
maybe if i was driving the VXR this thread would not exist but seeing as i was expecting to be overtaken and surprisingly wasnt i thought i would share my joy and happiness with the world

ive got both although my xe nova wasnt standard as was running cams and stuff but still dont think it was as quick. I was beat by a nova fair an square in the vxr, flashed him and got him to pull over only to find out his was a 300bhp 2.0 turbo with a straight cut box. Now my nova is turbo'd, or nearly as it aint finished yet

The vxr being straight out of the dealers is probably a slight indication of why you may have beaten it.
Daimo will however be on here soon telling you how you woudn't have beaten the vxr even if you were in a fighter jet.
