if you get a go in a mates that would make you expect that kind of speed and could dissapoint you when yours is on the road or might not

Tbh mate you'll end up disappointed when you drive yours, IMO c20let it instead, redtop b's are totally overrated there not fast. Nippy if anything.

they are quick. I've owned redtops and now I own a c20let and yeah the let is a lot quicker, but them old valver engines are still impressive.

tbh my mate had a 1.8 rollin roaded at 136bhp, but it wasnt quick at all, would get to 135mph but only on a road long enough,
power delivery and torque curve is totally different in a redtop, ul be surprised at how well the redtop pulls a little corsa and makes a crackin track engine.

but what u have to take into account a corsa B waighs less than a corsa C aswell and a slight bigger power out put will make a corsa B feel faster
