My pal just bought one. His dad had to bring it home from the garage as he later found out he cant get insured on it as he is 19 and got 0ncb and 1 write off against his name 
Not been able to drive it yet!

sorry but an idiot could go round corners in an elise quicker than a corsa, especially with a v6 in the front

corsa_sam - ive found that the v6 (when you learn how to drive it) goes round corners better than a lot of other cars, including mine when i had my 1.6 lump!

yes, but not a lotus elise, they are like go karts
explain why you think adding a heavier lump improves handling?

schoey with al due respect, i cant belive you kept with an elise that was trying round corners
on strights yes, as the s1 was a k series and s2 is a vvc engine, not all that quick
but a v6 corsa against whats regarded as one of the best track toys made

there not bad, personally i prefer the modified ones with a CTR engine either turbo or supercharge as it then has the power it should have always had
