No to be fair I would guess he spent less than a grand but like I say, it weighs a LOT less and was 150bhp which is a lot for something so light

Small car with a 2 litre engine, see the similarities?

Fair enough fella - I don't claim the CTR is an almighty conqueror, there are alot of other cars out there which can do the business.
What I do have a good laugh at are some of the crazy and pure bollox comments which are often posted. If people accept reality a little more then all well and good.
I would never try it on with an FQ or similar, no point.

No I don't, and that is where people make mistakes!!!!
The 2.0 STi is still a 2.0l - totally different class of performance.
So you can get a Corsa with a 2.0 engine, a chassis which couldn't support sweet FA without some serious modification and a Vauxhall badge to rub salt into the wounds.
No, I see no similarities at all.

So you having a dig at anything with a Vauxhall badge now
the Corsa chassis is more than capable of supporting a 2.0 Turbo, nevermind the 2.0 NA. LuckyB's old Corsa did 0-60 in 4.9secs, and the 1/4 in a very low time indeed. that was a 2.0.

Oh please, now my feelings are well and truly shattered.
As a few of the owners on the CTR forum have said - Santa Pod is a nice place to put things right, not on the public road.

Fine - but why spend all of the £££ to make a Corsa do that???

Look, anyone can throw a bundle of money at a car and make it faster than it should go.
The CTR is quite easily one of the best sub £20k performance cars available. In standard form it is an incredible car.
Modifications are available and plenty have been done. Come to the forum and have a look around.

what for? there is a CTR on every corner in the UK. See more ITR's over here though. I just dont see what your problem is? it is a capable car, but its not incredible. Perhaps something from Stuttgart is incredible, but not a common Honda.

Are you for real? Santa Pod is where your likely to be handed your arse on a plate
CTR's are absolute shite up the strip coupled with the fact they are driven by fairies who can't drive = absolute crap 1/4 mile times for a car with 200bhp.
