[quote][i]Originally posted by johnhara1[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Dave A[/i] not really. I have a 1.8 sri (well it belongs to the missus) I have also owned a 2 litre corsa and lots of other hothatches over the years. the 106 gti doesnt keep up with a 2 litre corsa until 80mph at all. the corsa leaves it rather easily infact up to 80 mph the corsa 1.8 sri is almost identical to a Vts or 106Gti. although the weight advantage that the saxo/106 has through the corners is a big advantage and on twisty roads the corsa would lose out. but give me a 1.8 sri anyday over a tinny french box. for the fun factor the corsa puts a smile on my face, handles well from standard, EASILY outbrakes a 106/saxo and has a much more solid feel to it. I would rather have the knowledge that if I crashed I am likely to survive rather than be 0.7 seconds faster through a corner than the next car..... [/quote] Ive never been in a 1.8 SRi so i wouldnt know m8 notice the IMO at the end :thumbs: Ive never had a race with a 106gti but i have the VTS which is more or less identical in weight and has the same engine does it not? I have a C20XE Corsa, myself and many others i know or have spoke to with XE corsas will tell you the VTS keeps up until about 3rd gear before it starts to get left behind. I said 70/80 but its probably more like 60mph when it gets left :thumbs: p.s i too would rather have the Corsa over the VTS\106gti but they are loads of fun around the twisties but i wouldnt want to crash in one.
