I love my corsa turbo soooo much, the power IS far too much for a corsa... but its fun all the same, i really need to get an LSD fitted (as well as some other bits n bobs to keep the car running safe and reliable)
i have raced a few of my mates as well as some other peeps on the road..
the all get to around 40-50mph before me, but when im in 3rd-6th gears i peepee all over their bottoms... so far the list stands at this:
MR2 (non turbo)
2.2Vtec Prelude
Scooby (dunno which model as it was quite modified n stuff)
Civic TypeR
200SX S13
i know that there are LOADS of cars out there that would easily pooh on my face, so im not trying to give it the "big all that" but im just saying that for a corsa it dont half supprise people

thing is, its not your typical standard corsa though although i swear i have seen the car in mk a few weeks back?  - saw a wite corsa, with the blue bits on it, overtaking down one of the dualies
although i would stick some 1.2 stickers on, would enhance the expression of the drivers you piss all over
edited - due to me being a thick coont and cant type properly

well thats ok then... but in all seriousness, his corsa will keep up with alot of standard cars... once they start getting modified on the other hand, things begin to change

Evertime I go in that car I always think, fucking hell thats quick, I couldn't possible imagine what 500, 600 or even 800bhp must be like. That sort of power must be just unreal!
