Do you guys think you could call a corsa B a b road thrasher.
Granted it would need better susension.

But do you guys think it is!
I dont own one (yet) so i wouldnt no... would u need more than good suspension to make it handle well?

Corsa's will never handle aswell as its other main rivals ie Saxo, 106. Mine is ok but i'd hardly call it amazing

if you tried to thrash a corsa down a b road on std suspension the first corner you would come to you would roll it, my friend did it in his.

we aren't saying we dislike them, we are saying the standard suspension wasn't built to corner hard at speed

I'd say a corsa-b could not be called a B-road basher tbh.

shocks and springs will improves things and good tyres but they don't have the power to wieght to be mega crazy. But fun doesn't have to be fast.

They understeer on tight corners, then when you let go of the gas to slow down they over steer.... Interesting really
