Corsa SRi - WTF? :o
Had a sprint on a dual carridgeway last night. Corsa stuck up my backside at 40mph.. so I open her up in 3rd all the way up to the red line and I've gotta say, I was pulling away, but this thing was there with me all the way up. Get into 4th, still pulling hard and I'd say I gained about 4 car lengths but that was about it.
Get to the island and it's a flippin Corsa SRi. Ain't these just a poxy 1.4?

And weren't the older ones 1.6 16v? I like the new one's, saw one the other day. Know how much they are and what insurance rating?
If cars had followed the same developmental path as computers, a Rolls Royce would cost £60, get a million miles per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

Corsa's don't exactly weigh much so a 1.6 16v will probably pull quite well!

1.4 16v = 90bhp
Lowe's Clio must be nearly pushing 200bhp.... so i doubt the 1.4 16v corsa would keep up with him.... its gotta have been one of the larger engine SRI's.  *Disclaimer* - The contents of this message are not necessarily my own opinions,thoughts or views... they may belong to the voices in my head! |

My bet would be an engine transplant job there tbh, an SRi is quick as standard, but not that quick
