RS1800i and Turbos are the ones to have, I love them as long as they are well maintained.

RS1800i will beat Corsa GSi as will a Fiesta Turbo. XR2i's won't, even the later 1.8 16v ones are slower.

The XR2i 1.8 16v's aren't bad no, but a Corsa GSi should be able to beat one.

1.4 corsa sport = 1.4 fiesta si (frog eye model) plus they have a 7000 rev limit fiesta will win

1.6 corsa sport = 1.6 fiesta zetec s (late model) you will need some mild tunning to keep up with them, from my experience

the only mk3 that will give you a run will be the rs 1800 and the rs turbs will kick arse against a 1.4

every same size engine fiesta will probably beat the equivalent engine sized corsa

1.1i 8v will beat a corsa 1.2 8v also

i have a mk3.5 rs1800 which apparently is the best one to get. it has a small rust patch on the bottom of the door, and a small blob on one rear arch. so yes its a rust bucket
i reckon it would put up a fair fight against a fully interior'd 2.0 corsa upto 100 or so as well
