A VXR Corsa is a different league to a 1.4 T-Jet punto

I get 25% discount being dealership staff.. Thats what swayed my decision tbh.. I drove the Bravo and the Grande Tjet's and even the odd 500 and the grande felt the best for me

Even the Punto Arbarth shouldn't be compared with the Corsa, more Suzuki Swift, Fiesta ST, Mini Cooper.

Corsa should be compared with 197, Cooper-S, CTR (snigger)

Why not the Abarth? an esse esse abarth is similiar power to a vxr corsa.. 180bhp

Granted a normal abarth is only around 150..

Also the essesse kit is main dealer fit only and it comes in 2 parts, a handling package and a engine package, the handling can be bought on it's own, the engine package has to be bought with the handling package.

Oh I see, much like you can now purchase direct from Vauxhall all of the products offered by VXRPC? And some dealerships offer Thorney upgrades which can be added to the final price of the car.

So for example you can buy a brand new Corsa VXR, be delivered to Vauxhall and then if it's a Thorney approved dealership they will have a in house trained technician that will be able to upload a remap, fit exhausts, lowering springs etc.

Or if the dealership hasn't a partnership with Thorney the car will be sent to VXRPC for the same treatment.
