Either shagged engine or sh1t driver then as a Corsa 2.0litre 16v should be hitting a 7 - 7.5 0-60mph easy.

.2 at the worst is not a thrashing. And a Corsa 2.0litre would wind up to about 136-137mph i think due to its lighter weight than its 134mph Astra brother.

Sounds pretty even to me. Would depend on the day. Might go hunting

I raced a ZR160 in my ZX 16V and he couldnt get past me so a 2ltr corsa would deffo beat one.

it would eat one
the reason why if u watch the video is that it was a topend race and a 2lt will only do about 130'ish so will a VTS

Just a thought will a 6 speed box increase the top end speed and if so by how much??? will it also affect acceleration???

All i no is a stripped valver Nova will eat ANY of the new Rover ZR/ZS series I'm sure a well driven corsa valver would too

Matt

Oh and top speed relies heavily on whether the box in question is a F20WR or F20CR, and as far as i remember, vaux never stamped this on the outside of the casin, and the only way to tell is to see how quick it tops out. The WR is a nova should see 145-147, where as the CR will redline at 136/137, but have better acceleration till that point.

Just wanted to know as I'm having the conversion done around Xmas.

Cheers.


Ashford Road? I think he lives in Grove Green somewhere, and sorry if u know him but he's a cunt. I had a running with him a while back, he drove ike a nob and cut me up round by haynes, it was wet and i locked up trying to avoid him, so i sat up his arse all the way aong ashford road and some part up new cut lane. he then stopped, and got out his car. I wound down my window and he tried to punch me(and missed i was sittin in my car and he still missed!). I was gonna beat his ass, but couldnt find my bar. He then proceded to follow me up the A249 all the way to Sittingbourne.


My mate also had a running with him, after he almost ran them over.

MG ZR 160 is not that quick. 7.4s to 60 cause it does it in second gear right at the redline. gets to 100 in around 22sthe MG ZS which has the V6 180hp. the ZT 190 is slower

Most cars on the road Id say will do 0-60 in over 7-8 secs so therefore theres some truth in his statement.

What about the cooper S? Should do ne short of a Works/Hartage/BBR conversion Be about even with a standard S, but the Mini would kill it round the twisties!
