GSi Has C16XE. Sport has X16XE.

Gsi has a few more BHP. Not sure on acceleration etc.

Parkers are usually good for comparing performance stats for same model, different spec.

early gsi had the c16xe

I have had a gsi and a few late sports, would get the sport over the gsi as they are newer. theres nothing in the c16xe and x16xe on the road, I have owned both.

if you were tuning the engine the c16xe head is a much better design but not much better than a well worked x16xe one.

i just think its crap how the top of the range model could just as well be a merit from the outside!

indeed but still they are special editions with smaller engines, the corsa sport looks just like the bottom of the range, a quicksilver or furio isnt bottom of the range

Just like a corsa sport hardly looks the same as a merit. Colour coded bumper,spoiler, alloywheels, slighty lower. Steve you never have any good to say, you put NO positive input into this site what so ever. Why don't you just leave?
