Finally got round to it....

2 runs i did......alright for a derv i guess

1st: 9.0
2nd: 9.3

Both done on my watch (very awkward), with 1 passenger and full boot + tank.

I didnt realise 50mph was only 2.3k in 4th. Full boost aint till 3k As predicted, wall of smoke behind!

Is yours tuned mate? coz that helps no end.....u get the turbo right thru the range, but peaking 3-4k, rather than the sudden 2.5-3.5k blast u get as std.

I did my 30-70 mph the other day in my Sxi lol, was a bit sluggish coz my car was still pretty cold - Was just recording vids with my phone (holding phone in hand turning wheel and using my other hand to change gears)

did a 0-50 mph run which was around 8-9 secs.

and did a 30-70 mph (changing gears, not stuck in 4th or whatever)... took 8 seconds

watching the vid it looks slow as... Might of been slightly up hill - can't remember wasn't looking at roads.

hehe did a couple while driving about and you see my speedo wizzing about (I'm holding the wheel as well as my phone and turning round corners / roundabouts oops)

how much is a 1.6 16v corsa then?

im right in understanding the VTS?106 gti hasn't got much torque so its not actually that quick when moving?

what changing gears? (not just in 1 gear)

surely this can't be right?

what do Gsi's do 0-60 in? 8.5 / 9's? that means starting 30 mph earlier and only doing 10 mph faster is taking a long time for that final 10 mph. (60-70)?

I was in 2nd gear from about 30-55 mph, then in 3rd from 55-> 70 mph.

so it takes a gsi 3.1 seconds to go from 60-70 mph? is there a gear change in between or something?
