S3 can be faster, but wont be in standard trim
I think 280-290 is acheivable on standard internals... and power delivery will be useable

Well its never finished mark, i always wnt new bits, or uprate old tired parts. Bits give up all the time, that sounds bad but most are easy to fix. And cheap. Just happens alot 
Never stopped tho, even with EML on and pissing oil itl go for miles

^ but even then a corsa is a matchbox in terms of weight comparison

Its the same with most cars though, I need a cambelt change and a full major service on my car.
Renault have quoted £460 for the cambelt and £360 for the service 
This is on a 2001 reg car, i'm getting it done tomorrow. But there is no way i'm paying that. Luckily I know someone who works for Renault
