My car should beat a lupo gti shouldn't it? 
 
Mine's lighter / more power? 
 
I've never raced one. 
 
How do they compare to CTR / Clio 172's?

Hmmm, i'm intrigued now.  
 
I found the Lupo very cramped in the drivers seat and i'm not a great deal larger than yourself.  
 
Maybe I just crossed the line between comfort and discomfort.

yes, they have more head room and front leg room than a corsa, doors are alot longer than a corsa as well 
 
chump off here use to have a tdi one, and he was 6.0ft plus, he said there was more room than the fabia he had

I can't see that 1.4 16v Lupo being able to stay with Stavs Corsa?  
 
Saying that though, I remember I had a race with a older shape Polo 1.4 16v in my Corsa GSi and they were quite simular the GSi had a slight edge not a great deal in it.

I just spoken to steve. it's a standard 1.4 (100bhp) 16v with a scorpion exhaust. no remap, no induction, no manifold... somehow dont think it's going to have 135+bhp  
 
must just be down to driver skill then?
