quote: why? Should a 1.8 16v Astra with the same power, but 50+ lb/trq less torque be beating me up a hill then? I'm not thinking so really. I show so many cars up on hills, and over 40mph!!! All i know is i heard his engine scream thru one gear (possibly 2nd as we at around 40mph), then he dropped into the next, so i believe this would be his "peak" power whateva happens. I had the same car as a company hire car last month, and it severly seemed to lacked torque so that made sense. But also seeing as he told me he was planted thru the gears trying to catch up......:rolleyes: Matt [Edited on 26-04-2004 by MattyB] | |

Ah, but u've got the power on both to back it up....i've got my 174lb/torque, but only 118bhp, a clunky box and 5k rev limit! :lol: | |

I'd say so. But you do need the power to back it up mind........which is why the GSi is excellent.....has a perfect combination of both, for the size and weight of the corsa :Thumbs: | |

Yeah, it would be quite wrong if a 1600 16v with a 109bhp in a corsa didnt beat a 90bhp Derv wouldnt it mate?? :rolleyes: 0-60 as standard is around 3seconds slower!! :lol: | |
