Hardly. Corsa is still 20bhp down on the S2000.

Small TBH. Top end S2000 if both had equal power would have the edge.

You do realise the Corsa D VXR is very aerodynamic, obviously not as much as the S2000 but won't be a massive amount, it's a road car not a race car.

Weigh the same as the Corsa then with 20 odd more BHP. So of course the S2000 will win.

Not a fair race unless Corsa was stage 3.

Oh yeah deffo.

Best ever. There is nothing you can do to make it loose grip, it has so much mechanical grip it's amazing.

Couple of the lads on VXRonline have Stage 3 Corsa VXR's with 240bhp, LSD which are absolute weapons.

Thorney state that a Corsa VXR with a set of springs no other mods will beat a stage 3 Astra VXR around a track.

i would have thought they were quicker than ctr's,had a go against a lad in a vxr corsa the other week and it didnt do too bad,he said it was 220bhp,but it did handle very well we came off an island from a standing start and he could just floor it all the way round where as i was having to lift off.
