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.
i never said you said that what i posted was aimed at who did post it and i used them as an example  i arnt picking a fight or falling out with ya so theres no need to get like that is there im not been snob so stop getting shitty over a forum ffs
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.
tell what nic, cant even be fucked anymore but if thats what you think, just gtf you big baby
if i post like that, then your the same. vauxhalls are fastests cars in the world, il beat everything else - must be according to you
go away and come back when your head aint screwed on like a 12 year old

whats your point of being in this thread wrighty, haveing never had a c20let corsa, or probably eveer been in one? so your comments are worthless, and nothing more than brand snobbery. impreza this, impreza that.
do they not make forums for impreza owners? join one, post up saying how shit vauxhalls are on there.

New 3.0 V6 Lotus Europa

Astra VXR with 237bhp and 1400kg, is only 172bhp per tonne.
A Celica with 2.0 VVTi (189bhp) engine has about 153bhp per tonne.

Plus 4wd transmission losses at speed.
An XE Corsa can keep with an arse end turbo range impreza. I know personnally... 
A standard LET corsa doesn't have much trouble.
But most scoobies have at least an exhaust, filter n such, so would make it much closer in standard guise.
A phase 2, 250-280bhp LET corsa would stomp a 280bhp Scoobie though. As I say, simple transmission losses.
2 short driveshafts, 2 wheels to power.
or
2 straight driveshafts, 2 wheels, then a central driveshaft to back of car, into heavey diff housing, then 2 more driveshafts, and 2 more wheels to power.
A lot of power is lost on 4wd at speed. From the line, no chance. Give one a go at 90 in an XE, u'll be suprised, as will the subaru owner. Until very top end performance.
One slightly tuned, would loose an XE corsa though.

i'll race a standard Corsa C20LET (202bhp?) in my Impreza. That will be funny
Round a track too.
To backup comments from both sides
Knockhill.... Skyline vs Corsa Turbo.
I was behind a Corsa on a straight... very little in it. Got held up in the corners... next straight he let me past.... again nothing in it on the straights but as soon as we got to the corners he was gone.
Spoke to to him afterwards and all he could say was
'i let you passed expeting to have a little play, but fuck me that thing handles'
A corsa can be fast.... but it is limited by its design.
Comparing a 300bhp corsa with a 250-300bhp impreza is a no brainer to. Of course the corsa will be faster (in a straight line). But turn the boost up in the Impreza and try again. Its always modded corsas against standard Evo/Impreza/M3's etc

but if it was a std corsa, there would be no point in talking about it. infact, being a corsa site, im amazed anyone actually discusses corsas.
