	QED are getting a comfortable 240bhp out of the 2.0L Ecotecs now....
Daimo B	posted on 27th May 03 at 16:13
	Should hit about 130 in the corsa with a redop. Calibra hits about 135mph, Astra does 133 i think. Corsas areodynamics are about as good as a brick though. 60mph your looking at about 6.5-8 seconds depeding on what else is done to it and what wheels etc. Redtops are better than the ecotecs. Ecotec has a good torque figure, but it needs to be a 2.2 16v just to get 145bhp. I think the 2.2 would be better int eh longrun. But, if ur talking about the 2.0litre, then that only has 136bhp in standard trim. Dont like them engines at all.

	Not convinced that little formula works... I don't think its a linear relationship. Therefore your 130mph estimate may well be correct but i don't think the 40mph is! Might be wrong :P

	speedo's not worken, But to read your speed of the rev counter , 5th gear, whatever the revs are double and take 2x0's off , try it and u will see..... ie 2000revs x 2 = 4000 take 2 00 = 40mph so 6500revs x2 - 13000 take 2 00 + 130mph as for 0-60 i can sit side by side with a Type R
