corsa bhp per ton: 150
TT bhp per ton: 179
and then theres the fact that the TT has 86lb/ft more torque.
Not saying it didnt happen or couldnt happen, just that the TT is a faster car than a corsa XE so the TT driver must have been shit.
TTs are shit, they also have transmission losses from the quattro system to take into account.
Beat quite a few in my Gsi Turbo (standard)

are we sure it was a 1.8T TT
anyway whos driven them both on here, not many i bet
i have, and TBH if its a 180
0-60 - TT
0-100 XE
handling, ermmm the both "intresting"
what one the race, corsa is far lighter, than the TT, even 2 up, its power to weight will be similar, corsa would win in a stright line

If that's bullshit, then I don't believe your 106 did a 14.whatever quarter, you are a liar.

i never said it did a 14. something?
because a TT is a better car than an astra GSi, if that offends you sorry.
It may not be bullshit that hes beaten them, however a TT will be faster, a TT will handle better, TT will grip better and it will be better built, alround a better car, so no cause to call it shit

The TT will handle better?
The car which used to flip over at speed?
Ok.
He has as much right as anyone to call a TT shit  I think Ferraris are shit. It's personal opinion.

Oh yeah, I forgot, Vauxhalls don't handle. How silly of me 
2 things Steve.
1) We don't know if the car was a 150, 180 or 225
2) You weren't there, but you still seem to think it didn't happen 
Wierd.

And I didn't say the Astra would handle better than the TT, I just said the TT used to flip over, which to me, is a bit shit, not exactly what you'd call 'good' handling, is it?

no, if it was a 150 then the corsa could win easily, 180 would be close, anything else the TT would deffo win

I think that people need to agree to disagree because come on, its a corsa website and your obviously going to get ALOT of people sticking up for the corsa even if it isnt a better car. i havnt realy read all the posts properly but how did an astra get into this thread? come on guys its not worth it. if you want to have real debates about it then have a fight.. oh and record the fight and upload on youtube please!

JEES!!!! There are some right COCKS on this Forum!!!!
Rob, Fair play to your mate  Always good to hear about about an underdog winning.
TT's are SH*T! IMO can't stand them! And most of the owners are Female or Hairdressors

Internet warriors strike again.
A 106 or a Saxo would of been able to do it though.
