Why is it that people bum off these corsa vxr's? imo they are over rated and pretty slow tbh, watching various ones run the quater mile would be pretty depressing for me if i ever i owned one. A c20xe corsa isnt capable of out running or beating any impreza or evo at any point through the rev range. Iv had four c20xe corsas and one corsa let, i wouldnt buy or build any other hot hatch with a budget other tha these. It makes me smile how there is always a debate on what car is the quickest between an xe corsa and a clio172.

it would be nippy but the scoobys and evo's would be out of its league.
save up and find one with a c20let they are very quick and a mildly tuned one will give the scoobs and evo's a run for there money........only from a rolling start and not breaking or round corners lol

I think they're great fun little cars, loved the ones i've had.
Regarding to people even contemplating racing an evo in one need to wake up. They're nippy but not rocket ships

My friend and I had a little race once, the corsa (again stripped, but not to your old ones standard) just edged the 182, no more than a car length, was pretty neck and neck tbh.
Either way, nippy fun cars fo'sho.

Power doesn't account for much if you have a load more weight though bud.. mine is probs around 1190kgs (ish) with the mods etc... e46 M3's don't pull on me until over 100mph+ (on a private road of course )

if a corsa has got all of its interior though they're around the 1100kg aren't they?

E46 M3 would rape an XE Corsa from any speed.
