All I know, is ideally I'd want a car, that had an engine in it, that was designed to be in it.

Thats all you need to know.

No offence intended at all. I can definitely see the appeal with an XE'd Corsa. Of course, all that power in such a small car. But it just felt fast.

If it was a tuned and stripped Corsa, I may have a different outlook.

The pull of a straight 6 up to 155mph is much more interesting imho.

I've had three X16XE's, my Bro has a Valver, drove my brothers to see how it handled as he doesn't like chucking it around corners, all I can say is - There is no difference. They both handle the same as each other.

Dave A weighed it properly IIRC, think there was a nominal difference, 20-30kg's or so,

Didn't Willay have his car corner weighted and setup, he might have the data from that still?

folk say they don't handle well, but what do you expect for a corsa with some generic shocks and springs. if there was a set of arb's, everything was adjustable etc and it was setup properly, it would be fine, slapping on a set of gmax 60mm springs and shocks of course it'll be shite.

I weighed a c20xe with an f18 and an x16xe with an f15 on once.

cant remember the results though, sure it will be in search somewhere

I'd rather have a VTS than an XE'd corsa. If I were going for a engine coversion, it would have to be a C20LET.
