xe corsa is only as good as the competition to be honest, e.g 106gti etc, vauxhall shoulve shipped the gsi with a 2litre lump and stuck the let in the astra gsi imo

yeah, i agree, should have been a factory option, to compete with the likes of the clio williams and 205 1.9 etc.....

wasnt the c16xe in the gsi detuned because when it was at 150bhp it was quicker than the c20xe or something?

As far as i can remember from when Ritch had it, it had uprated cams and a chip that cossvaux made for it.Think thats why it revs past 6750rpm.
Was a lot quicker than some of the other 2.0 corsas around here also.
