Just had a little tinkle with a black one, was lush, i can see why stocker had one,
Completely standard, looked mega clean,
Off the round about he was quicker but i have lost confidence in my corsa since i span my SXi, so didnt really give it as much as i could off the round about,
after that i floored it and it seemed quite easy,
Nice cars mind 
Gave me a nod when we got to the traffic lights too so was a nice chap

theres a red one round this way which is seriously fooked....
even a 1.2 8v could beat it  the turbo screeches when it spools up 
owner is a right dick tho!

How weird is that, I had a little tussle with a grey immaculate one about 20 mins ago as well, even with my SPi pump I managed to keep up.

You'll not be keeping up with 1.2 8v's when that sound deadning goes in will you.

Not std then, badges missing, wrong rear lights, lowered, exhaust, green stripe missing
As said 130 bhp standard inc lag so nothing special, but can be tuned very highly.
Just waiting for someone to say they beat one with their 1.2 corsa now!

You are a penis whoever you are.
My Nova will still only weigh 800-850kg max! that with 140bhp will see it go very well indeed.
Now fuck off you annoy my happyness.

I've raced a 200bhp one in the corsa and kept up with it (only just mind), they're not my cup of tea tbh, just looks like an XR2, much prefer the ERST
