Are Glanza's 130bhp? I would say Pulsar GTi-R but you wont get a mint one for cheap or if you want a supercar get a 106 GTi

My mates Glanza couldn't keep up with my XE Corsa and i when i drove it it just didn't have the same pull or aggresivness (sp) as the Corsa. The glanza has full exhaust, filter, running slightly higher boost than standard too.

But having said that, i love the look of them and you can get good power quite cheap, so its a tough choice.

tell me about it jay racking my brains but i always think punto gt3 but then evryone says it wont put out 170-180 bhp on standard internals and ideally dont wanna be spending a fortune on a punto.. just want a decent quick little car
put into perspective the kinda acceleration i am after is around the civic type-r performance maybe 0-60 around 6 secs

106 gti, will do 0-60 in about 7 secs, similar performance to an XE

If u want a turbo and something that will blitz any1 of the cars stated,get a Pulsar.

Tune it to run 1.1bar(£500 will sort that out if its not already done) and ul hit 60 in the 4s.

Exactly, i'm 6ft and have size 9 feet and I had no issues what so ever with my 106 gti.

As for them feeling like a tin box I can honestly say my gti felt nothing like that and it was much better to drive than my XE corsa. The only thing the gti lacked was the torque that the XE had.

They handle superbly standard and even better when lowered mate.

Mine was dropped about 50mm on full PI suspension with an upper and lower OMP strut braces. The lower one used to catch on loads of things tho as it sat so low lol

see what I mean

They're not super quick but just as quick as an XE corsa with just a filter and decat exhaust.

Not to shabby for a 1.6 16v
