a standard let (ie standard boost 8 psi iirc) with interior will be in the middle of say a classic turbo subaru and a sti . will beat one but not the other ,, if you dissagree i advise you to gtf you lieing chavs.

I've been in a phase 2 Nova LET. I cant think of anything faster that I have been in. Saw it tear away from scoobs and evos back in the day (in a straight line).
That'll be similar performance to a Corsa LET.

Kept up with him no problems, and mine wasnt tuned, just had a larger FMIC which any corsa will have so for arguments sake "standard"
ok going by the thread title how did your standard corsa let compare to your phase 1 astra gsi?

First one to die, not car to die  And tbh, with my track record, my car would die first.

Straight line id say so yeah, against a uk turbo & wrx. I rekon a lot of LET drivers smoke the lower powered uk impreza 'done up as an sti' and think they have the fastest car in the world. Against scoobs with a shorter box, and onto the higher spec ones ie sti, hmmm, not so much of a chance, specially handling wise.

That's like saying, "ive raced cars and beat them before.theyre not that fast."
If they're a shit rider, they will be slow... I wouldn't call 0-60in 3.5 seconds slow... and I've seen 175mph on the clock (I know that won't be the real speed), but I wouldn't exactly say it's slow!

A standard run of the mill R6 will do a standing quarter in the 10's, you put someone who can ride and has got the stones on that and you are fucked......end of!
Thats without starting on the thousands!!! Try 3 seconds to sixty and 100 in sub 6! Even the LETs famous "in gear" times cant live with that!
Be real now people!

numerous bikes
scoobys
Aston martin DB9
And not much gets away tbh, depending on the road etc. Some have been mates that i've raced that do drive their cars hard before the warriors start with the "i bet he wasn't giving it beans" talk.
bear in mind that these are not off the mark races this is mid range etc, corsa turbo wont corner like the cars above but it will reel them in on the straight

Was talking to a dude in a Z4 who was quite shocked to see you nail his expensive motor lol
