good day for me too,
Just been in my cousin's remapped audi rs6 (520bhp).
VERY FAST, 60mph seems like 30mph in my corsa! Was very easy to speed without realising it.
was amazed how quickly we got up to 120mph...
Had a big fat smile on my face the whole journey home

its quite funny that we all talk about xe's and 150-200bhp, and then u go in cars with 500+bhp and then your xe soon becomes slow !

xe's arent really that fast, vaux should have put the 2l in the corsa b as its flagship model. and put the LET in the astra as its top model
