Anyway lets not get into this! LOL theres loads of arguin about this on here! but either way both are really closely matched so i wrecken all 3 of our cars 106 XSi 8v, COrsa 1.4Si 8v and Corsa 1.4Sri 16v would have trouble beaten either to 60 cause they all fairly evenly matched! LOL above 60 the 16v etc comes into play but i know my top speed is hindered cause of the closer ratio gear box but 60-100 thats a different story! LOL!

matt_jonesuk what are you talking about!i have had 2 XSi's so i know how quick they are.
how can you possibly think that your 8v is faster than BCS's 16v?? explain that please! even vauxhall dont agree with you.
i would also be very interested to know how you can have beaten an XSi to 60. i promise there is nothing in it with a 16v SRi.. trust me i've done it with a std XSi and a std SRi 16v.
And im very impressed that your car 'isnt running well' and still runs stupid 0-60 times that can beat 2 cars that are so blatently quicker.. wish my car was running that badly!!

its been running bad for about 3 days i havent raced it in the last 3 days
i was going on what other people had said on this board that the 8 valve 1.4 is faster 0 -60 than the 16 valve cause of high torque i didnt say they were faster top end. An if u dont want to believe my 0 - 60 times then fine im not really bothered i can do 0 - 60 faster than wot the factory times say so what? BCS's 16 valve if it was standard would beat the factory times. I just stated the fact that i have driven and been in both cars whilst they have been driven and noticed in my opinion that the XSI wasnt as nippy... i've never driven a 16valve corsa and have never raced one so the info i got about the 8 valve bein faster 0 -60 was off this board...

Is it the 60bhp or the 82bhp version though? The 1.25 is 75bhp.

the 16v is faster than the 8v i recon, but the xsi will beat the corsa to 60 cuz it only needs to stay in 2nd gear, the corsa needs to be in 3rd to get to 60. but the xsi aint much faster!

LOL yeah that true about the gears but b4 now i've had 55 in second but that is slightly in the red, and it was only once by mistake and never again! LOL but my SRi can keep up with my mates XSi, but at the end of the day none of us r race drivers so quoted times dont mean as much, its whos driving!

a 1.4 8v is no way faster than a 1.4 16v,people on the board may of said that the 8v has more torque low down,but it doesn't mean there quicker,and a 106 xsi 1.4 8v with 100bhp produce's more power and torque than the corsa 1.4 8v and also the 106 is lighter,so i would love 2 c a standard 1.4 8v corsa beat a 106 xsi and also matt_jonesuk i would like 2 know how you timed your 0-60 time

i can get 55 outta 2nd gear to.
Like isaid i dont care if u dont believe my 0 - 60 times.
the only reason i said 8 valve was faster 0 -60 than a 16 valve was cause other people had said it previous on this board.
An i dunno how i beat my mates 106 XSI maybe jus a better driver i was jus asking WHY my car could have beaten it because the 106 XSI has more BHP. An also my car feels more nippy perhaps its not...... perhaps my mates car is messed up i dunno dont really care

most of you know jack-shit about corsas. Matt, your car ISNT quick, its a 1.4 5door. Enough said there. And about red-lining your car, it does NO damage to the engine. A rev limiter is there for a reason, its not to be passed unless you want to damage the engine. You cant pass the rev limiter on a std ECU, therefore you are doing NO damage to the engine, as long as you look after it properly.
