0-60 is wrong a 1.2 8v does it in 17.4 not a 1.4.

Those figures are not independently verified so I wouldn't take them as gospel. Plus there's more to consider than outright power such as torque and power delivery, and gearing.

the 1.2 8v corsa kills the 1.012v corsa... 0-60 after 60 the 1.0 12v makes a comeback... ive tryed this with a mate before...
think the gearing on the 1.0 is better for the motorway...

12v probably has the F13, that will be why

my 1.0l was faster than my 1.2.
but i realise now that its not even worth comparing the two, because they were both sh1t slow and where only meant for grannies to carry their shopping with
