i think a;; your ice will slow you down, also vts will prob keep up till about 80mph, as for changing gear 6000 is about right by 7000 your losing power

makes me laugh, when are people going to realise a 20xe is not really any faster than a gti/vts like for like, ie one driver full interior etc, you cant start comparing stripped corsas to a vts with a full interior

GET THEM TINTED SPECS OFF

rubbish not below a ton there will be nothing in it if both driven properly, look at bhp per ton it will be pretty much the same
