Thats where im gettting it wrong its the torque that gert car going ot bhp i was assuming bhp on both cars are similar so assumed speed would be, thanks for correcting me on that. | |

quote: You have just asnswered your own question there. The saxo was a 1.4 where as the corsa is a 1.2 and its torque that moves a car not bhp. So the better torque of the 1.4 is what you are missing or lacking. You also have to look at the gear ratio of the cars. your saying the corsa c only dose 45 in second...now that dose sound low to me, is it possible it has the wrong box on it? | |

Whole idea was to reduce mpg consumption as i was getting approx 20mpg with saxo. | |

Tbh mate, i swopped this saxo 1.4 8v chiiped for a corsa 1.2 16v on paper the bhp was same hence why i went with 1.2 not 1.4 but now im really dissapointed as 1.2 no where near and i mean no where near as quick my old 1.0 3cyl b is prob just as quik. | |

I agrree with what you say, differ engines differ weight but seems as example i dont speed much but when i do the power just inst there in corsa. | |

I think that you are comparing two totally different cars really. The Saxo probably ways about 200 to 300kg less than the corsa C, but that extra weight comes from it being a better well made car. | |
