Yeah, the car he was given was a prototype, he basically said it was that one or not at all

Vauxhall should have waited TBH, he would have still had it on the show no doubt.

Not really but I'm sure that the Corsa would be lighter than the Astra.

Is he comparing it to a stripped Corsa B with a 150bhp engine?

I think any car with 190bhp is going to be fairly brisk.

175bhp

I'm not sure, but if hes used to that, I can see where he is coming from.

My mate works at vauxhall and ''borrowed'' one for a few nights, and got hammered by a LET

A LET Corsa?

I'm not surprised, that would weigh less, have more power and have more torque than the VXR...

Compare it to a standard Corsa GSi/1.6 Sport, or 1.8 SRi (which would be it's equivalent) and it's going to be a fair bit quicker....

Any light weight 3 door hatch with 190 odd BHP is going to be fast'ish, it all depends what you compare it to.
