Its wierd you can tell when you hear an XE quite like I can always can tell when a CVH is around
My old one sounded wel different to most xe;s not sure why though. I dont think they sound terrible not like a 1.2 16v with a cone filter and a loud exhaust. Deffo dont sound as rough as a diesel

surely also it depends on the car mine has the rear end stripped and the gearbox ur using, my speedo is out by 1mph according to my tomtom at 60mph and ive recorded 0-60 in my xe in just over 6 secs with passenger millions of times it was around 7 when i had rear not stripped

Going by the calculator i use,an XE corsa with say 150bhp weighing in at 950kg(sum1 confirm this please)without driver would do 60 in 6.81 and the 1/4 in 15.06

The calculator doesn't take traction into consideration though does it? For 14" sport wheels with little tread, that wee bastard was quick
