the 4 buns go underneath the sausage lol

and hell yeah, aircon weighs like 25kg's in these mofo's and coming from a modded Clio Williams this thing needs to go on a bit of a diet, it's a right heavy fooker.

yup, it's fairly nippy, you'd have to ask my mate with his Poobaru RA about that though

no idea on top end, had 150+ before straights started to look like corners, I'd imagine it will pull right the way round the clock to 170 or the limiter... whichever comes first... but around 160mph on GPS I'd have thought, give or take.

MPG is anal buggery, it's V-power every other day... lol

What are the gear ratios, and what is the maximum rpm the engine could run at in top gear?

easily possible with higher rev limit. in 5th on an F15 with 8k RPM limit, you can hit 160mph

but you are right, there is no way in hell you can reach 160mph in a corsa with an F15. only way is forced induction, but then the gearbox would melt
