i would say round twisty stuff the 1.6, having owned both my 1.6 actually handled very well where as the 2.0 would understeer also the 1.6 feels better balanced. | |

running same bhp is his question, not same torque blah blah | |

1.6 will always lack the mid range of the 2.0 | |

all down to who is driving. when my mate had a 2 litre corsa and I had a 1.6, mantzel, mapped etc... was running around 150 bhp there wasnt much in it in a straight line up to 90ish then the 2 litre would pull better due to gearing and more torque | |

first 3 gears would be similar match but i would say the 2litre torque would have an advantage once into 4th and 5th. | |

Hi if you modded a corsa sport 1.6 or GSI engine to around 150bhp with whatever it would need as in dbilas / mantzel inlet / tb's / cams / remaped ecu etc which is roughly what a standard 2ltr red top is in bhp? which would be quicker? the corsa sport or corsa 2ltr? im guessing the 1.6 would not have the same torque as the 2ltr but it would be a lighter engine possibly meaning faster acceleration plus better handling?:boggle: |
