There i was with my mate today out enjoying the sunshine and rekindling my love for the 300zx when matey boy pulls behind me in a beaten up 5 door corsa b revin the nuts out of it, i laughed as you would and floored it! then about a mile down the road hes back behind me again and im just pootling along and he overtakes me so then i drop it down a gear expecting to go rocketing past! but no, i was actually struggling to keep up with the little scrote! so i kept chasing the little fooker hoping i could catch up with him and ask what the fook hes got under the bonnet, by the time i got near him i arrived at my destination, let the sod go and swollowed my pride. Me and my mate were sat in the pub for the next couple of hours trying to figure out what engine he had in there? could a redtop engine in a corsa be that quick??

NOS maybe?

Could have had the vauxhall 3.2 V6 in it. Kicks out about 211bhp (before tuning) and makes the corsa a rocket.

Surely that would have sounded like a V6 tho.

My sons was a 1.2 /16valve twin overhead cam to be pricise, acording to his freind he had the 1.4 the 1.2 was faster,

They have a different note to the VG30 v6 but yes, it would have sounded like a v6

 

Maybe a 2.0turbo astra vxr engine?

Hmm yeah that would make an evil little corsa :D

fast enough to keep up with a zed? off the line maybe but i would have thought the zed would paste a corsa between 40-70?

 

John, what kinda speeds we talking here?

it was a 2.0l 4pot that was highly tunable,compared to the normal 2.0 ecotech. Getting a bit old now though

Could have been a ratty LET. There are a few people around who buy a crappy looking Corsa and dump an LET into it. Doubt it would have been an XE unless it was on TBs.

It was horrible and chavy thats the worst part lol lexus lights, 5door, poorly fitted gsi front bumper etc, i would of liked to met him on an open ring road now that would of been fun. Trouble is it didnt want to push to hard aswell because we were on a quiet stretch of road and at one point doing nearly 120mph and i still wasnt getting much closer to him!

Didnt hear no pshhhh bov noise though which is a common noise in chav mobiles.

There is an old guy not a million miles away from me who has a V6 Corsa, fook me its scarely quick ! Even my 5.7 Hemi Engined Ram will struggle in a straight line till 120mph !!

He cant tow 5 tonnes tho, or get out a muddy field !:cool:

Not everyone fits junk to their car! :rofl:

2l single turbo, superseded by the ZLET. Xafira GSi's etc. have them.

 

 

calibras also have them aswell as turbo cavaliers e.t.c.

 

theres a guy near me running a very old looking corsa with a calibra turbo who raced a friend of mine, with a evo 9 whos running a proven 380 bhp and he lost not sure how lo,. The corsa was running around 350 and he fitted a type of traction control to it? he said he spent around 8000 pounds getting it to the level it is.

 

it even says diesel 1.5 at the back of it lol.

 

hes an idiot though as he purposly (sp) gets in front of other turbo/ fast cars to make them race him....:xxx:
