go on peformance stats above and type in corsa. 1.2 16v is over 4 seconds faster getting to 60 and with double the valves it will go faster. Even 1.0 12v is better than the 1.2 8v 4 acceleration.

actually, the 1.0 12v and 1.2 8v are equally as slow.

1.2 16v corsa b's came with 65bhp from september 1998 till sometime in 1999, then they came with 75bhp from then on. corsa c 1.2 16v's also have 75 bhp.
i think it was the time when the sxi badges changed from blue to red that the engines changed too.

(anyone who wants to dispute this please do so because i have the rolling road printout of my 2000 X reg 1.2 16v corsa B with 75 bhp!)
