He said my car def had more pull than a R reg VTR. Said the car handled nice and felt fun so he bought my car for his missus.

Going to be a sad day on Saturday when he collects it

I sold my GSI. My buyer was buying a vtr, but after driving my car he changed his mind. He had a scooby but wanted something for his missus.

what year did the mark 2 come in?

It was just nice to hear someone else say it as no vtr owner will admit their car is a bit slugish.

You need to take into consideration the fact that the VTR weighs less than a fart

wrong, kerb weight is 985 for a Corsa with A/C, a bog standard Merit/Envoy is about 930 kg's. Basic nova's are sub 900kg.

but why is that important??? GSi has 6/9 bhp more, but is heavier than a VTR. surely that would make things even? VTS is 20bhp more.
