Corsa C is slightly heavier I think. By about 40 kg.

Bhp figures from the manufacturer also can't be trusted... apparently they underquoted the corsa B for insurance purposes...

Best way, get em both weighed and get em both RR'd on the same RR...

Would be quite interested in the result actually...

I had a 1999 SXi and now have a 2003 SXi, both have around the same performace (nothing majorly different) but the handling and ride on the new sxi is much much better than the old sxi

Vauxhall did use the same 1.2 16v engine from the C in the last few run offs for the Corsa B! I found this out when I had my engine conversion and had to take the 1.2 16v out!

performance is not the same..... The suspension is better "good for round de twistys"

I dont really know this but i'll say it anyway..... The corsa C is lighter

A little secret for you. The Corsa B Sxi's that were made in 2000 shared the same newer engine from the Corsa C Sxi's. Therefore exactly the same! ;)
