Mine puts a smile on my face whenever I drive it, can't beat flooring it and the pull in every gear.

Off the road now until April / May and I can't wait to get back in it

I loved the power of my XE when it was first done.

But, you do get used to the power very quickly.

Steve is the best person ever at winding people up about xe corsas, he hasnt owned one, so his opinion of them will be from limited expriance and therefore most of what he says is bollocks just to get on peoples nerves on here

Dave just doesnt like them

honestly this place does my head in.....

to be fair, 0-60 in 7 secs isn't really worth the conversion price, a Saxo VTS does it in 7.7secs. Even the LET conversion in 6 - 6.5 secs, a FWD drive corsa with an XE or LET engine is going to struggle for traction off the line

You want fast 0-60 then go Jap and turbo.

My MR2 turbo that I had hit 60 in under 5 secs. Now that was fast. Got used to it though as you do with every car.

I'm just saying that corsa conversions have their limits.

here people go again with 0-60`s

should see my punto go 50 - 100

0-60 its quite slow

mid range is were its at see how a LET/XE does then as opposed to a tuned 1.6
