not that quick, you get nice red calipers front n rear, i think everything else is the same as the 1.4 sri, which my mate had, lowered on coilies, std rims, ehaust, debadged and irmscher grill. That was my favourite corsa c so far. he brought a lexus is 200 after!!!! Now he regrets it!!!

they are pretty good cars IMO. yeah its not going to set the world on fire with its performance, but its not that bad either! acceleration off the line is pretty good with decent traction, and the engine feels right at home in the mid-range. doesnt really like to be revved hard, but keep it below 5k and it will move along pretty quick. have suprised a fair few cars since i have had it, including a supercharged commodore the handling is pretty good, and is improved heaps by fitting a thicker rear ARB, as the rear tends to wiggle a bit under heavy braking and cornering. the brakes are absolutely superb in every way, completely fade resistant and great pedal feel. Dave A will back me up on this
i believe the engine is pretty tunable too, and should see the good side of 140bhp with decent exhaust, panel filter and a remap to run on higher RON fuel.

My mates looked so nice, it was only a 1.4 but those std rims are lovely, it was on coilies so was very low, irmscher grill, and a nice exhaust, n debadged!!!!!! Sweet motors, put the 2ltr turbo lump out of the astra gsi and you ave a lovely motor, shame they aren't quicker.
