It only needed wider tyres to be as good as the Golf.

And perhaps a stiffer chassis, that seemed to be a a problem with the MK2 & MK3s, mate had a MK3 1.4 8V with a XE in it and it was bad

I've always loved the Mk2 GTE, would still love to own one, prehaps with an LET.

Anyone got a rough idea of 0-60mph time for an XE corsa (standard...well exhaust, air filter nothing special)?

I love my GTE. Put it on the weigh bridge and its the same weight as a red top corsa - 1000kg
