fair enough, but not every single one is the same, you cannot generalise imo.

not entirely, 2.0 16v in a corsa with g-max lowering springs on standard dampers = not great. watch out for robin reliants

Although you looked rather scared/Holding on for dearest car going into the roundabout a few months back at quite a high speed, Handbrake slightly applyed!

IMO parts will fall off the R5GTT and scatter all over like like confetti in a wind tunnel and the XE wouldn't - ergo Corsa "wins"

But just to be on the safe side I'm gonna wait until Cupra Steve has graced this thread - then we'll know FO'SHO!!

standard / standard id probably say the corsa.

the r5 runs 0-60 in about 7.8 standard im unsure what a c20xe would do it in. but it must be quicker

stardard the corsa would win easy. raced a few tuned ones to when mine was still standard and they just couldnt keep up.

not trying to be big headed or bias but i did over 200 runs last year in my corsa and i got to race a few different cars
