I always considered this, though all the tuning companies just laughed at me when i suggested it.

Which is a shame really

Thats a load of balls tbh.

The 172 has absolutely nothing at all before 4k rpm giving you about 3k rpm of a rev range, my fabia had nearly that but I didn't have to thrash the balls of it.

Or are proper drivers defined by needing to drop down 3 gears to make any progress?

John hasn't brought your 'rattly little french hatch into it', he owns a 172.

i think that torque in a corsa would be awesome, wouldn't the 2.2dti be better tho?
