I reckon as far as euro styling goes, the standard lupo's look better when they're cleaned

Im not 100% sure if its his, but its always parked where his Lupo was parked, and i've not seen the Lupo for a while so i'd presume it was his

why wouldnt a corsa 2.0 ltr 16v be able to beat a relatively slow lupo gti?

So it should be what with it being a 2.0 and the Lupo only being a 1.6, although i dont think they would be that much in it

lupo probably weighs the same as a Corsa 2.0, has 25bhp more ad probably about the same for torque too. Should easily be faster in a straight line...

the corsa is david? the lupo is only 123bhp, i guess thats what you mean, but the wording the way you wrote it sounds like the lupo has 25bhp more

I like Lupo GTis.

I found when I sat in one that they aren't built for tall people had the seat back as far it would go and was still cramped

Do like the look of them though. Can imagine them being like a little go kart.

I suppose it depends how you sit when you drive and if you have long legs.

I have long legs so the seat has to be far back. I know people that are as tall as me and also taller and they have the seat further forward than I do cos they tend to sit forward in their seat

In a straight line a corsa with a 2ltr 16v lump thrown in it will lose a standard GTI. But I guarntee if you took both on a track day the lupo would rule!
Whilst your beefed up corsa is busy spinning up the inside wheel going around corners the lupo would be gone!
You will sturggle to find a more sorted car as standard as the old Loop, so far its the only car to come close to the old Mk1 Golf GTI, the car that started it all!!!
You have to remember that you corsa is packing a 2ltr, whilst the Lupo GTI is 'only' and 1.6!!
As for leg room, I have a 1.4 16v Lupo and the interior is vast when compared to my horrible corsa!!
