Went out Car hunting at the weekend with my mate Ads. We both have Corsa 1.4 16V Sports. He was looking for a Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.6S and found one.
Anyways he reckons I should sell up and get a Corsa 1.6 16V GSI. I must admit they are very nice and I could soon put my wheels on, but it would be a lot of hassle!
I love my Car at the moment anyways and was thinking, what would be needed to make it quicker than the fiesta and GSI. Is it worth tuning the 1.4 or slamming in a 2.0 16V?

isnt the book times for the 1.416v and the zetec-s 1.6 the same 10.5 0-60?
if thats the case try looking at adding a few bolt on bits to give urself a bit more performance velos torque tube/Dastek Unichip...etc
that should easily see u beating the fiesta.

I've had both a 1.4 16v Sport and a Zetec-S and think I could safely say the ZS would piss all over the Sport however for build quality etc. the corsa wins hands down
