if its not vauxhall or it doesnt conform to corsasport, you dont stand a chance on here eck! if its anything different to what the corsasport big dogs like, it will be shit wether you have an opinion on it or not. it doesnt matter if there are better cars out there or what they look like, a c20let will always win hands down
if its not a corsa, they dont like you, and christ if youve got wheels that arnt the correct offset run because youl be burned!

its good to break trends and do things different!
those vids really show how fast it is, cant really imagine getting to 148mph in under 10 sec! must take fair bit of skill to drive the car to be fair :-)
i thought my vx220 was fast getting to just over 100 in 10 secs, lol
his slip from last week showed 1/8 mile at 6.6 seconds at 115mph.
thats extremely fast.

It's just the fact it's a tigra. I just don't like those cars in general.
There is no way I'm saying the car is junk it just looks horrid IMO. I personally love the look of nics corsa which will be just as powerful.

That's got to be about 5.9-6 seconds to 100! That's ridiculous.

apprently a veyron can do it in 10.2 seconds at 230 km/h (142.9 mph), (not sure if thats right?)
so it's certainly faster than supercar fast

a lot of super cars are slower than that by quite a bit.

Beyond that I think only a Veyron, or a BMW S1000RR will be similar from the production vehicles perspective!

I fail to understand why people are commenting on the looks of Speckys Tigra, I am under the impression this was never meant to look amazing - it was built to do a 1/4 mile which it does rather well.

i think the problem is people are saying it doesnt matter how fast it is if it doesnt look good. which to me, like you i dont get. its done to do what it does. which the look of a vehicle doesnt come in to it.
i guess people would rather look good than be the quickest in the country at something.
in some ways i get it. im happy to do mediocre 1/4 times and still have a mostly road going and road looking car. but then speckys is built for speed and power. which it achieves both, very well.
uk's fastest fwd aint something to worry about the looks of it tbh.

Totally agree, who gives a shit what it looks like. Functionality over looks in this case most definitely.
