wasnt that impressed by it tbh. shot up behind me on the dual carriageway then turned off on the same lane that i take home.
was right on its back bumper for 3 miles, handling looked scarily bad through the bends! got to a wide flat stretch and pulled past him without too much trouble, back into the twisties and he couldnt keep up.
dont see many around but thought it would have been more of a match for the corsa than that. Anyone had any experiences of them?

do you not think racing on the road is irresponsable and highly dangerous

i had a play with one when i had 140bhp and was unimpressed with it to be honest. in gear speed it had the legs on me but if i was to get the revs up not much in it, not played with one with current engine spec....

if he was running 2wd he would of been wallowing all over.
If his 4x4 was engaged there is no way you would of kept up unless he cant drive.
This is coming from someone who owend a corsa and now a cally!

100% agree with you on that one. The road we were on is a wide, flat lane which you can see approaching cars on for 500+ yards. its surrounded by fields, no kerbs no pavements, no cyclists, animals, pedestrians etc... if a car approached in the distance I always slowed down, so did the other driver. we were only a danger to ourselfes, not that we went over the top, was a bit of mild fun nothing extreme.
as for not standing a chance with a cav in 4wd,  I did. and won.

no way would I be able to keep up with my cally in the corsa
corsa's on coilovers but the cally can go round corners faster than I dare take it round them
perment 4x4 is awesome!

I didn't start it though. Just cruising along minding my own business when he came up my arse and baited me into biting... 
As for dangerous and irresponsible, that just adds to the fun...

Not disputing the ability of your corsa, in a straight line my old 205bhp corsa would ruin the calibra.
Corners are a different ball game.

it was a cavalier not calibra.
if that makes any difference? same engine but i imagine the calibra would handle better? less weight?
