i dont think it ever went on the rollers It did do a 14.7 quarter mile and that was with all that wood floor in the boot Im sure he said it should have been around 165-170bhp.

it would of been good of vauxhall to manufacture the gsi corsa with an x20xev engine,the two would go hand in hand I reckon
