like for like of course

same weight, same power, same basic susp setup, same diff setup, similar brakes.

Ians bucket was great fun at Anglesey - could do with being a fair bit firmer and having a diff to make it much quicker with out much more power.

There's a slim possibility that Nic is joking.

I can probably adjust those dampers although I don't want to change the tendency, its fairly neutral now, only steps out when you lash it in.

Ian's Puma and my Corsa don't seem to be too far apart, the Puma's got probably got 10-20 bhp more and around 40-50 kg heavier.

My 1.6 Corsa was last weighed at 828 kg that's with polycarbs, inner door skins cut out, sunroof removed, although it has about 40 kg of roll cage in it to.

That was with the Comps on, the SXis and Federals probably easily added 10-15 kg, the bonnet saved 3 so it's at least 835 now.

Mine annoy me but they're strong, I keep looking at OZ lightweight ones on the bay but I'd probably smash them to bits.

Wasn't the wide bodied version was just standard,

Would be quite an interesting conversion and would prob handle and be more aerodynamic compared to a corsa

Have you not seen the video of evo chasing corsa turbo around knockhill?

Granted not many people can drive like him but it goes very well!

300ish bhp EVO.... 200+ bhp corsa....

the power to weight advantage makes up for the lack of grip eventually
