I went to see my secound cousins project car today...
I know its not a corsa, but its still pretty impressive.
His name is Graeme Wight Jnr, and he was the british hill climb champion in 2002.
last year he was running a Gould GR51 (2.5 V6 Cosworth engine with about 450 BHP. All N/A)
Since he came second last year, he's decided to build his own car.
The engine is a 3.0 V10 F1 Engine pushing about about 800 BHP.
Anyway, he went to a car auction and bought 2 of the things 
He's got a 6 speed arrows gearbox too.
So i went round to see what sort of progress he's at, and he's designed all the body work (with the help of a lotus designer) and made the prototype out of wood. Fibre glass shell ready tomorrow. i'm gonna try and get some pictures up if he'll let me.
Anyway. To cut a long story short, he's gonna have a single seater with aroung 800 BHP weighing about bugger all (thanks to a lot of carbon fibre, firbe glass and honeycomb aluminium)
Oh yeah. his last car was good for about 200mph, so god knows what this will do with this engine.
