Is that supposed to be a standard Corsa XE ?

I think they vary a lot... but generally they do 15.2-15.5's... and that's usually with exhaust + filter.

only some strange one's (with the car completely stripped) do 14's... that or they're tuned a bit.

14.8 time to beat boys..

If the car is stripped, then its hardly classed as strange

Think my old c16xe would beat my ibiza over 1/4 mile, but over 1/2 mile it was rinse it.

I agree with that, but its strange to call it strange

Was your 106 standard when you done your time?

I wasn't calling it strange for being stripped...

I was saying some are strange, and also stripped that have done amazingly good times.

For example Mike's off here.... and Sly_Sri's ... 14.4

when it's supposedly standard bar stripped / exhaust.

but then there's other's that struggle to get much better than 15.5's...

Fad / Willay's struggled to get under 15.1's

XE's vary a lot...

No. But I didn't write 'It does 14.8 Standard'

He wrote '[XE Corsa's] do 14.6-15.2 Standard'

Some of them are capable of that though. as you even said with fad/willay's.

And 15.3 isn't much far off, which is what my engine got in its last shell.

Yes but neither of them were standard.

AFAIK both were stripped / Fad's was bored (sp) out, both exhaust + filter etc.

I'm happy to admit that a Corsa XE will do 14.4-15.2's

But my argument is that he said they do those times standard. Which is bullshit.

Standard state of tune / unstripped - they do 15.2-15.5's.

Not much you can do about exhaust as one has to be made up to fit, and same with the ind kit as it can be akward to fit a box, they hardly had anything to an n/a car.

I think someone needs to chill the feckle out

Paul, you do need to calm down dude.

On a note, my XE ran x3 15.2's at about 92-93mph. That was weighing 1 tonne.

When it was cold, the engine earth strap was 4 gauge amp cable (snapped on way up), it ran a 15.6 twice, didn't feel right, didn't run it again.

Fads was a 2049cc, but only ran a 15.1.

But i've seen standard XEs (standard is filter + exhaust as they are needed for conversion, plus they don't really do much anyway) do a 14.8.

More to the point, which is quicker mid revs, any gear, just accelerating. Torques where its at.
