A 180bhp one might. But 6.5 standard seems reasonable considering CTR's are dispatched after 1st gear.
 Are you serious, a c20xe corsa doesn't dispatch a CTR, when my CTR was standard it was the other way round
14.6 std engine 1/4 mile corsa xe yeah, easily defeat a ctr. civic's are very over rated by their owners.
Agreed.. Std Type R's are not quick.
A valver corsa is about 6-6.5 all dependant on driver/weight of the car and transmision used. F16/F20.
Its abit of a gray area.
A standard XE Corsa wont dispatch a standard CTR.There wouldnt be much in it imo.But neither car would leave the other with ease.
F16CR has near enough,if not the same ratios, as the F20.
Well I can pull past CTR's and stay ahead of them (whilst still pulling away) with not much bother at all Nik?

Eck, i'd say yours isn't standard? Or in bloody good shape.
Mine was a good engine, but did slightly loose out. It really was marginal though.
Honestly, I think my exhaust wasn't very good though. Bar the rather small tailpipe, it just seemd to sap power at top revs. But in gear it pulled quite well. Seems I had a good amount of torque, but lost top end power (which would be right for the exhaust bore).
tbh, i've heard of XE corsas both beating, and loosing to Type R's. Likewise i've heard of XE corsas loosing, and beating 16v Saxo's and such, so its a case of potato potarrrrto methinks.
Not really driver skill to change gear in a straight line

Just a bit As I say, timing gear stopped whilst I was still in 2nd, (so below 6000rpm). I needed 3rd at the least to do 60mph.
Still, looks good for internet pimp whoarness (until I actually say what happened )
I actually got it on video on my youtube, you can hear me feathering the throttle as it was so bloody slippery Terrible lauch, even worse timing system, hence why I NEVER believe any Trax 0-60 times.

oh well. i think all timing gear is over rated and so are rolling roads. so anything with a time or a bhp figure on for any car should just be ignored. this is what ive learned from corsasport. ignore your printouts as wikipedia says its not possible.
thanks.

I'd say the datron stuff we used on our CvS day in 2002 was actually spot on nic.
2.0 corsas (standard) running 7+ 0-60...
Luckys making 4.97
etc....
I have ignored my printout, as i've said.

Yet you chose to use this so called "proof" that your car done 0-60 in 6.3s with an XE in full road trim.
Well done you.Now go tie your shoe laces before you trip up again.

Crails 1/4 mile times cannot be used either according to his theory?
Mind you, that means Santa Pods can't be used either.
I mean, its timing gear?
Hold up, does that mean race meetings timing gear is also providing false info?

Crail varys on different days tbh.Headwinds etc.
The only time i ran my XE Corsa up Crail it was doing mid 15s.......Sounds about right i suppose but mines wasnt standard.
On the same days,R33 GTRs were doing low 15s,CTRs,mid to high 15s etc.I looked at the time slips on Crails site when it got uploaded and all of the quick cars were about a second slower than what they would normally be doing up at Crail.
Its mysterious 1/4 mile imo.

I dont constantly slag anything Corsa related.Please find me this constant information you have been reading.
Honda sites are boring as you will know,i suspect you troll over on the CTR owners club.
CS is probably the most active forum around these days,thats why i am here and post.Most users dont just come on to fish.

Aye mine still has full trim Nik! And Daimo, it did have a good bit of money thrown at it new parts wise, but nothing performance related. Infact, the cat is fucked (and it shouldn't have one anyway, being a 20XE) so if anything it's probably down on power. And I'm free all weekend if you want a shot of it mate

poke a stick up you're cat, get all the crap out of it, see it flows like de-cat for now
Crail is a bit dodgy for times, due to surface, i'd trust santa pod more, but timing gear is prob your best bet!
sadly i have no idea what my 0-60 is
