What is the kerb weight of a Corsa 1.6 16v, as standard?

And that of a Saxo VTR '97 plate (90bhp version)?

Myself and one of my housemates are debating on our bhp/tonne and which car has more, I think its mine but I want numbers to prove it!

Does the 16v in mine have more torque than the 8v in his though?

sounds about right. Corsa will be quicker. Im fed up of people saying all the time a vtr Saxo won't loose to a corsa.
VTR Saxo's are slow and a 1.4 16v and 1.6 16v corsa will kill them through the gears and top end!!!

after having driven both I would say the std corsa can feel a bit off the pace and vague in the corners, However with the right touches a corsa can be made to go / handle very well as can the saxo.

So std for std I would say the saxo is quicker, (well doubt there would be much in it between a vtr and gsi / 1.6 sport)

In terms of build quality though the corsa is a much better car

I dont think you would notice the 0.3 seconds or whatever that are between them! Even a second is neither here nor there!!!

problem is, you will have been sat there with a nervous twitch ready to go on the un-necessary assault like normal
