[/quote] I am... hence the :( in my sig. That guy ended up doing a 14.8 with just exhaust and filter. Problem is with 1/4 mile is, you have to get the launch 100% perfect, and since I've increased the power it's not as easy to launch and find the traction as it was. With no LSD, and crappy tyres, in cold weather 14.8 was what I got. But when I did it I thought it was gonna be a 16 or something as it was such a poor start off the line. When I had just exhaust + filter I did a 15.3, and it gripped so well of the line. My car should be capable of at least 14.6 maybe better. Sly_Sri did a 14.4 @ 93, which is the same terminal speed - so if I got a better launch my car would've been even with him. Thing is, XE'd corsa's differ just as much as 106 gti / VTS engines. Some XE's are poor and only do 15.8's standard, some 106 gti's engines are poor and do like 16.8's as standard! Some XE's are awesome and do 14.4's! some Gti engines standard are good and do 15 flat! etc... It's just all over the place, and this (As well as the driver) is why 1 person can race a gti or xe and beat it, but yet other's would thrash it. These debates are silly, unless settled on the 1/4 mile, where you can compare your best 1/4 mile time with someone elses. But end of the Day a Standard Gti / VTs will thrash a 1.8 Corsa SRi off the line and round the twisties. [/quote]
