lol, on a seriosu note tho, IMO (yes MY OPINION, not someone elses) a 172 will be more than a match for a c20xe corsa, especially on a slight bend.

what the hell. is that a 172? or a 182? and stock or not?
I didn't realised clio what-evers were that quick, thought they lost their guts after 80 ish. I really want to race something (in a non chav way) and see how my car compares cammed up. etc
assuming they started in 1st gear in the vid I think I'd of given them a good run.

2L XE Corsa - 150bhp
172 - 172bhp
Clio - good handling
Corsa - not as good at handling
Id argue the clio would just see any std xe corsa off!!

corsa is 980kg id say with the 2ltr and trim, the clio is 1050
there reakky isnt much in it
the clio puts the power down better and a slight bend and the corsa will get it pants pulled down
