100bhp vs 116bhp

nova weighs as much as an anorexic otter

will take it accelaration but the extra valves willhelp the corsa take it top end i would think..

cant be much between them

ok these are the figures

Nova GSi/GTE 1.6 8v 16SE - 100bhp / 96lbft
Corsa GSi C16XE 109bhp 110lbft, X16XE 106bhp, 108lbft

Nova is quicker off the line, but the Corsa is quicker in-gear thanks to 16v and twincams
