Theres a lad about a mile from my house that Has an RS focus but everytime i've seen him hes travelling in the opposite direction

For me its probably a CTR, annoyingly its probably just that little bit quicker.

I drive a 206bhp/230lb/ft ibiza cupra btw.

so which car is your arch enemy then?
If ur ICR really is 206bhp u will hav a CTR

Rob i never saw the RR graph, but with the mods its definately feasible. I am going to get it on the rollers as soon as pay day comes round though.

Only thing is that peak figure of 206bhp probably isnt as good as it sounds, My car peaks at 17psi then holds 13 psi to 5krpm, turbo really loses its effiency at those revs at boost drops to 10psi. If i had the K03S turbo with the bigger impellor then it would hold the boost to the redline and would make a huge on road difference. Mind you would have 240ish brake then and prolly 270/lb/ft so would rape a CTR anyway.

forgot to add, suffice to say i think in a drag race the CTR would be that bit quicker at the moment.

I have never been in a LET corsa, bet they are a pig to drive though.

the ICR and LCR put the power down really well for a FWD chassis.

vts is 125bhp at about 845kgs

ud need about 140 in a corsa i reckon to compensate for the weight

sarah they are heavier then that, an s2 106 rallye is 850kg. You are looking much closer to 900, perhaps a little more.

i know im quoting a 50kg discrepancy but in a car of that weight and bhp, 50kg is a lot.

ICR also a lot more torque, however this reminds me of the VTEC arguement thread that was going on recently. The CTR doesnt need huge amounts of torque because of the gearing/revs?!? I kind of got lost in the bullsh1t amongst that thread. But its 0-100 time is pretty impressive so i guess there is some founding behind it.

My Nova is about the same as VTS's and GTi's, pulls away from them after about 90mph but they stick with me well ken.

CTR's do my tits in. they think because they have a nice new hot hatch they own the roads

also most bmw drivers are cocks & a certain rx7

beating saxo vts' never looses its fun & i like suprising scoobys
