C20XE 147bhp 144lbf.ft
C20LET 201 bhp 206 lbf.ft
Just don a xe in my corsa so i'd say the xe is the way to go but if you are a beast put the Let in

afer reading a few posts from wot i can hear v6 corsa would be a nitemare. no room to work around the engine etc. think beardy said it takes him 4 hours to put the 2 manifolds onto his car.. sounds like nitemare stuff, id say ur looking at removing the engine all the time for service parts etc..

I would V6 it, but only if you inted on having the car as a little show car you don't drive for half the year. Its a lot of engine for a Corsa bay and I can see it being a pain in the arse really
