My 1.4 16v fairly easily pulls away from my mates 1.4 8v, and has a much better top end. 
 
I also used to own a 1.2 8v and that was no where near as good as my 1.4!!

when you say 1.4 8v is that the sri? my dad test drove a 1.2 16v sxi corsa b mdel and he said that was a fair bit quicker than my 8v so im guessin the 1.4 sport will feel very quick to me!
