Will depend on the driver and whether on the launch the Diff circlip pops off on the Clio

Wouldnt be much in it i'd imagine.

Corsa will be faster in a straight line. But as Fad said, not THAT much! Isn't it 138 or something bhp in the Valvers?

yup 137 bhp in a bake bean can.

Halfpints off here used to have a Valver Clio and he always used to give Lee's XE and mine a good run for it money. But in essence in a straight line the XE should beat it.

With a good driver behind the wheel of the Corsa i see no reason as to why it wont be as quick around the bends as the Clio.If not quicker.

I've had 1.8 16v clio, and mine used to run a 14.9 at pod. Had supersprint manifold and magnex exhaust and fully stripped, so wasn't exactly slow in a straight line!!!

Also done a track day at Brands with all the corsasport lot, and never had so much fun lol

He's a pic of mine


More in my garage
