IIRC, they're 100bhp, and weigh nothing, so they'll see a GSi/1.6 Sport off and they rev to like 7.5k

Mods - Same as any other car really, breather mods, cams, headwork and so on

Edit - 750kg and 100bhp - 133bhp/ton

Judging by the bhp/ton it'll kill a GSi/1.6 sport.

I was about to say something then but it'll open a can of worms and the bandwagon would arrive

Well, low speeds, yes. Until you're needing torque, then obviously the XE will pull away, quickly.

But a valver corsa, with pas, abs etc would be well over 1000kg's and only 150bhp. So the bhp/ton would be near enough the same.

the rad is weak, the front lower panel rusts so do the sills and rear suspension points
the elec widows are rubbish
and the electrics for the lights corrode badly if not looked after.
