Well supose its from guessing but being the driver you notice when things are different, well i do anyway.

Other people that had been in the car before and then after said it pushed them in the seat more after aswell so not just me imagining things.

Well does every little detail have to proven by numerous rolling road print outs on here just to prove a fact?

You have just answered your own question....

A FACT needs to be based on evidence...your stating for a FACT that you have seen performance improvements...yet you use the word "guessing" in your previous reply and you dont have evidence of this improvement..

Just a little point to note

I think in the context of this thread the power output of the Corsa is largely academic. The Range Rover is faster on paper anyway.

I also hardly think estimating that the power is increased is a lie per se, but I also don't think its something I would want to claim without testing it.

it could have been the Diesel HSE which has a 0-60 of around 11 seconds unless you manually shift using the shifter button in which case you can get to sixty in about 10.I should know ,il be picking mine up either tomorrow or tuesday morning

Maybe I should have worded it...Dont make claims that you cannot back up with solid reliable evidence as without this your claims are worthless....

Depends if you're also driving around the corner before it faster because you're more confident than you were when you first tested it.

Either way, not accurate at all.

there are quite a few people who have had experience tuning cars here, i myself have been there and done that with most bolt on tuning stuff and seen hard evidence of what stuff actually does. Aswell as speaking to the pros who were doing it at the time.

Take your car to a decent tuning center, get it on some rollers, speak to the guys there, you will be bought back to earth with a bang
