the only reasons 16s appear to grip is they are turning slower...

mothsgunahave it is clearly a dick.

I'm guessing the main reason you got beaten is because your a shite driver. Judging by your posts on this site your IQ is probably less than 50 (not a good thing) and you probably kept pushing the brake instead of the clutch to change gear.

Seriously though. Traction can be affected by the width of the tyre and the quality of the tyre.

I'd probably guess a chav like you would drive a car with bald tyres - perhaps thats why you have no traction.

Also you probably booted it - rather than holding at around 4k rpm and then eased the power in (stopping wheel spin)

Go read Max Power dick and fuck off the site.

Take all of your gold plated brass jewellery out of your boot and your car will be lighter and not slow you down as much next time

Based on your theory of going faster when the car is lower if you deck your car 125mm all round u will kill Impreza's all day long

Send your driving licence back to the DVLA and ask for your money back, as I'm really concerned at your ability to drive (or speak english for that matter)...

Oh dear god you are a twat. My neice, who is 18 months old has a little babies go kart that is millimetres off the floor. Due to this fact she would beat your 1.6 corsa 0-60.

Seriously you need to take a step back, read your posts and look at how ridiculous they sound. Its obvious you dont know anything about cars, driving, spelling or use of the English language.

You also state you earn 30k a year. With an attitude like that, poor use of Language and spelling you would be lucky to get a job in McDonalds, let alone a decent job with a good salary.

Im gonna guess you probably dont even own a corsa and that you are just here for an argument, you are probably 15 years old with a scooter modified with the latest chav accessories, one neon light and a HKS sticker or 2 on the side.
