we have a limited factor of our pertrol stations only doing up to 99ron fuel. im not sure but maybe over there, as some european countries do, they might have higher octane available from the pumps. get far more power from higher octane fuel.

Cossies with 1500bhp....
Supras like like 1500+bhp etc....
they must know things we dont - or can get parts we cant

thing is. i dont want a honda. i dont want an impreza. i dont care if cars are faster than mine. im not remotely bothered.
olly clarke's impreza has 850bhp. that would piss all over my car. i can accept it. i actually like my car. have enjoyed making it over the years. sorry if i actually enjoy stuff like that.

Same, i love my car, well some of the time, and building it, and stuff. Yes there are faster things out there like your corsa, i can accept that.
All i was saying is i get really wound up when people who wear vauxhall tinted glasses say 'oh you beat that impreza har har har what a loser he should have got a LET corsa instead.

but i never said that. ive never said that. so take your brand snobbery out on the person who did perhaps?
i cant be more sorry than i am, for posting the only 5 videos that the people i went up with toook on the day. sorry that one was against an impreza. i cant help what other people video. accept my deepest appologies for the behaviour of my mates with their mobile phones.

so what was ther point in anything you typed after quoting something i had written which related to nothing about impreza's?
unless it was total brand snobbery. imprezas awesome. vauxhalls shit. its all you think. its all you post about.

Just googled   Hot hot hot!!!!
but not as hot as... 426kmh, or road tyres....
http://www.fasterandfaster.net/2006/09/turbo-hayabusa-sets-new-streetbike-top.html
Yes, thats 266mph, on 2 wheels, on a totally road legal bike (none of this spaceframed slick tyre'd but "MOT" so legal drag cars ). Taht can be ridden to the event. and home, totally legally
Nic, dude, you really need to chill out man. You sound like me 3-4 years ago. Thats quite interesting actually seeing as we both smoke lots of green. I wonder if theres a link there. Off post invasion, but interesting science???
Fuel to fire....?
Those 220bhp Impreza jobbies, can be matched for pace, in an XE corsa, at speed. 4wd transmission losses suck ass Just dont try the bends
Im a brand snob. I'd much rather have, saaaay a McLaren F1 over a Corsa with 1.6 on TB

i quit weed ages and ages ago.
im just starting to get a bit fed up with peoples anit vauxhall brand snobbery on what is essentially, by the name you type in after www. a corsa site, which are made by vauxhall.
if i went on any other forum and started replying like people do on here so anti vauxhall, id last about 5 seconds. its beyond a joke at times.

Dude, come on, im the most un-branded snob in the world. I like my Opel fruits
PS, good for you on the green  And im actually serious about that.
I think its just the way you reply. It screems "fight me" instead of keeping it at a relaxed banter pace. But its also this place, brings out the wrost in us sometimes

see, i went to a performance ford mag day yesterday in my completely shite car, as its a vauxhall. nobody looked down their noses at all. lots of people came up for a bit of banter, i had a fair few laughs with people in the queue for the strip. there was absolutely no brand snobbery there. the last run of the day on a ford mag day was made by a corsa vs a cossie.

I think its more when you get into German motorship that the brand snobbery begins
us Vauxhalls and Fix Or Repair Dailys (ESSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXX, just accross the water) have no snobbery. We use various parts from various vauxhalls to improve what is essentially, a terrible base platform.
But thats the fun in modifying.
Take your Corsa to a VAG event, I bet the bitchin really begins.....
Then go on the strip and open that whoop, ass, and can of..

i think this thread should be a bout wrighty's tuned impreza getting its ass kicked by a std c20let corsa. as it will happen to him one day. might just change his mind a bit.

I wouldnt expect a LET to beat a bike, and also i wouldnt expect it to handle "well"
id just like to know what cars a LET would beat in acceleration. Interesting read though

basically it will beat a lot of cars. the owners of those types of cars will never accept it as possible. even if you repeatidly beat them.
