Sassy, are you sure the Corsa wasn't a 1.2 SXi?

Means faff all really, need some graphs, proven figures etc. 'alot more torquey then a corsa' doesnt mean squat

The torque generating by my ball sac during copulation is considerably greater than all your cars.

Could've been a gsi with a few bits done, but I can't see your 8v being quick.
I'm after a mk3 (heavy ass) gti 16v It's not gonna be quick but I aint expecting it to be

Its all very well saying cammed and chipped all the time but do actually know what it all means? What profile cam is it? Fast Road etc? Your car is 115bhp standard and your lucky to have gained 10bhp on that with your cam and chip.
In a race like youve described the 16v is going to come off better.

haha - probably was just a sport and your a crap driver 
I remember beating a golf 1.6 or something in my 1.2 16v - and I got to the lights and the guy wound down his window and said 'WHAT ENGINE IS IN THAT?' - and I said '1.2' and he said 'Nah seriously...?'
I said '1.2' and he said 'fuck I need a faster car than a golf'.
Thing is - it seems nippy because its 8v, where as 16v you had to get the power into the power band before it really pulled. So off the lights for example yes your golf may be nippy - but once under way I'd imagine it wouldn't take much for something to catch you up quite quickly.
