I should imagine they are an absolute handful and will shake your bones out of your skin.

I didn't have a C20LET in mine, but I was scared shitless every time I went past a lorry on the motorway, or every time I drive towards a van/lorry/big car as it suddenly felt REALLY unsafe

Yes I know the feeling, you also hear EVERY single stone, bump, rutt in the road in a Nova as well, I'm going to put some sound deadining in mine.

A 1.2 8v is a death trap in the wrong hands though.

agreed. in my opinion, thinking a corsa feels safer than a nova at speed is just wrong, neither feel safe and ive had both at high speed

Agreed, I don't feel safe in any car above 70mph, if you have a blow out at those speeds you are dead.

Well it's not! Don't get me wrong my ibiza felt stable at 145mph but the slightest of wing, stone flying up, blow out whatever it's going to be end of, goodbye!
