Back to the original question i would say:- Get a corsa 1600 if you want the straight line speed, its easier to get more power out of.
Get a ZS for Straight out of the box go-kart handling, but not blisterin accelleration like the corsa Gsi's or saxo VTS has. I'm glad i got my ZS over the other cars i was lookin at!!!
the corsa gis's have blistering acceleration 
thats what i was thinking!!! what is he on?
LOL Sorry i meant Better acceleration

I would like a ZS, however I think the puma 1.7 into one would be a pointless conversion. My mom has the 1.7 puma, and it isnt that fast
How much do these puma's weigh?

The 1.7 conversion ZS hite 60mph in around 8secs which is around 1.5secs quicker than a standard ZS and they can be tuned relatively cheaply upto 135bhp which is quick enough to trouble a VTS/GTi.

Would be shite. Surely a 1.6turbo would be more satisfying

Agreed. The amount of money for conversion and "tuning" could be spent on a VTS/GTi and the ZS (with conversion) would be a blip in the rearview.

my mates ZS couldnt get near my corsa sport and my corsa was pritty slow, only on the straight thou. How can a small car with a 1.6 engine take over 10 seconds to hit 60?? beyond me
