Fast Corsa...

[Leeroy]

I came across a souped Corsa yesterday on the A1 near York, it was silver, newish - don't care enough to know what model year it was but it was hugely quick.

Admittedly I was in a high gear when he booted it but even when i dropped a couple of cogs I wasn't catching him as quickly as I'd like to have been We were at the upper limit of the national speed limit

I can't believe it could have just been a remap. No other tell-tale signs other than those crappy Max Power 2" diameter wing mirrors

A man I know had a 2.1 litre throttle bodied corsa running an LSD and it looked completely standard. CCC ran a test and it was the fastest FWD car they'd ever tested. 0-60 was approx 4.5 - 5.0 secs (can't remember the exact figure) and the guy could DRIVE too!

 

A 2.0 16V NA or a 2.0 16V Turbo engine can be dropped in for the cost of the engine plus about £250 for a conversion kit so there are plenty kicking about!

Yeah my mates 205 mi16 engine gives me a run for my money. Its most embarrassing

Good point

Im actually looking forward to something like this happening with me but with a more valued car....

Could be a Corsa VXR, when I had my 350Z my mates Clio 172 would stay with me until around triple figures. Z's arn't that fast but they are luxurious with a decent dose of speed.

Most of the time though Z's are over-rated, so you whip out the boost and they will most likely be expecting it

nurrishes car is going to be extremely good at porshe baiting

Nurrishes is no ordinary over rated Zed like ours though

Theres A white one kicking about Inverurie Stew so beware 2.0L red top turbo. Im not sure it currently running at the moment The thing like to chew gearboxes But when it does I was shocked.

A guy where I work is running a modified/barely legal Peugeot 205. Old school, but it leaves me standing, 0-60mph in less than 5 secs. After that I'm going past. To be fair, he's spent nearly the cost of a decent pre-owned Zed on it!

 

Can't see it appearing in Fast & Furious though...

Nearly every other corsa owned by the typical boy racer type round my way has a 2.0 16v or turbo lump under the bonnet......

 

They can't go round corners, struggle for traction and are largely driven by tools

[mike@350zforum]

corsa those were the days for me!

 

For you curious ones, here was mine...
