[quote][i]Originally posted by MattyB[/i] The SXi could possibly have been underquoted in power, but not by much. Not enough to make them a "quick" car. Paul off here thinks he has a 'fast' SXi, and runs 19.5-20s 1/4. Woteva way u look at it, they are pretty heavy bulky cars, with an engine designed for reduction in noise, fuel consumption and emissions. The Nova SR was never designed for this, hint why Pierbergs were used right upto cease of manufacture. If u could drive, you could stop a nova SR. Same goes for the GTE which was a beasty under braking as well, but it would do it well enough. I've driven loadsa corsas and novas, and without the 2.0 ATE set up, they are poor. The 236x20s just couldnt hold the weight especially considering the weight of some B's with aircon, ABS, leccy etc etc. Weight makes a hell of a difference when it comes to braking....it dictates the feel, the stability and obviously the braking distance, which is why i would feel a hell of a lot more confident stopping a nova, than an SXi. So what ur saying from ur last couple of posts Dinosaur, is that 1.2 16v B, is as quick as 1.4 16v C, which are both faster than a 1.2 16v C, which is faster than a nova SR. I have to disagree strongly, as a well driven SR in good condition would not lose to an SXi in a straight line sprint, and it would leave it round corners. Obviously its not easy to test, as they arent many well looked after, unmodified, medium milage SRs left to get a fair comparison. I do however, know someone with an absolutely untouched 1.4SR that i'm sure would be very happy to run against ANY 1.4 SRi corsas to prove this point. Matt [/quote]
