Only hope the 0-60 is a bit quicker than the Merivas 8 second effort. I think 177bhp from a 1.6 turbo with a 6 speed box could be good fun in a Corsa D, just not sure on the shape of it at the moment :o Be nice if it had an interior like this or the Astra VXRs Thoughts? It is true, the Internal Inform went around last week. We got prices,specs and date of release. 8th Feb iirc :)

	cant see the performance of this corsa vxr being any good, just looks like it weighs so much more than it should.

	Been in the astra VXR and trust me its only the seats that are of any Real quality. The Alpha GTA is a much better looking car in and out Altho prob be in the scrap yard not long after buying one

	If it ended up looking like this I would buy one if I had the money at the time

	Vauxhall should stop p*ssy footing around and make a Corsa 2.0 turbo straight from the factory :D

	Then theres the thing of only putting so much power in a small FWD car as otherwise it'll just spin in every gear if its heavily tuned

	quote: Originally posted by Matty G But that would be pointless IMO cos if they put the 1.6 Turbo in as I'm sure that would have plenty of tuneability and weigh less than the 2.0 turbo :) No I mean the corsa D in general. You could buy the 1.2 /1.4 version etc... get a heap and do an engine conversion. 1.6 would be tunable but also you could also tune the vxr engine. [Edited on 27-01-2006 by _Allan_]

	i'm sure with a couple of crow bars it could be rammed in! lol
_Allan_	posted on 27th Jan 06 at 09:49
	Does anyone think the astra vxr engine would fit into the corsa D?, now that'd be a nice conversion :)
Rileysport	posted on 27th Jan 06 at 09:45
	Still wondering why they never did a 2.0 corsa b myself :lol:
