i agree that goes someway towards it, if an XE is producing bang on factory 150bhp and weighs 995kg (being very conservative as thats for a 1.4 16v)

say a gti is making factory 125bhp and weighs 850kg

the corsa = 153bhp/t
the gti = 150bhp/t

3 bhp aint gonna make any diff and some gti's/vts's came out with 130bhp

people are also losing site of the fact that a few bhp advantage wont mean you pull away like its going backwards, you might pull a car length or so over a 1/4 mile, but to get any real advantage you need a good 70-100bhp over something else

If VTSs are hitting mid 15s and some Corsa XEs mid 14s Id say that was more than a car length.

Steve is right anyway. 150, 156 whatever BHP, a kitted corsa wirh 17s and an install is gonna weigh substantially more than a saxo/106, and it wont be devastatingly quick.
