Had this idea just then in AK's thread, Time attack see's a different variety of cars, If you were Given the chance to be Time Attack challanges. Within reason what car would you choose and why?
For me It would prob be an Evo 8, There 4x4 - Plenty of tuning can be done and they look boss!

Iv always prefered the older models so an evo 5 for me.
But to be honest,
A c20let b would be
Corsa 1.6 sport - 1
1.7 puma engined fiesta - 0
Keeping corsa's on the redline since 2008

Wasnt stating they dont when developed for a motorsport such as TA - Im basically saying await the comments that Corsas dont handle.

anything is allowed..... as long as its not a tubed chassis. Budget is what you want to spend 
They go in the prototype class.
I'd choose a GT3 RS too... wouldnt kick ass but would be fun.
If you are going to be a front runner in club you'd need 600+ bhp
Pro - make that 1000bhp maybe
Bo does pretty well in his Astra VXR in the FWD class.
A corsa B would be hopeless.

Why would a corsa be hopeless but an astra VXR can do well? they are both fwd etc, like you said with enough development....
Im not arguing btw, genuinely intriuged/interested.

The Corsa B is how old?
What does 'development' cover? Spending loads more to make it just as fast as something else?
Thats kinda my point - why hinder yourself? No doubt you could make a Corsa B a a great car.

considering you can pick them up for peanuts now

I wouldnt think there was too much available off the shelf to make an X type handle well. So maybe expensive as you'd have to do a lot of the testing yourself.
Impreza's, EVO's etc are common in TimeAttack as they are very well catered for. You can rely on other people to test/develop parts.
Thats kinda where my comment was coming from. Its easier to make a fast car faster, especially when there is so much knowledge and products available.
A corsa B - what would you plan to do? Its chassis isnt great by a long shot.... but you can prob make it competative. BUT i think it would be easier to make a Clio Cup car, or Fiat 500 arbarth faster for example. All comes down to budget and preferences though. It would be good to see somebody giving it a go.
There is a 500bhp Astra entered this year.... its Feckin rapid (in a straight line) but nowhere in the corners. Thats my vision of a corsa B in Time Attack.
There was a Corsa VXR involved at somepoint last year.... it got pumped by lesser powered Mini's I think.
Fee's car took a few years to get to where it was last year - we do things incrementaly though so take our time. I dont class it as a big budget car either - more a true club class car.
