I imagine a 300bhp corsa is quite dangerous for unexperienced drivers ...........

If you do decided to buy the car i will let you drive around for 30min+ at full throttle and abuse the car with me in the passager seat to show the car is fully working and that you are happy (money up front) if you take it away then
I WONT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF IT BREAKS OUT OF MY SIGHT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!
WTF

mine will hit the limiter in 5th pretty quick which is about 135-140?on an f20 box iirc. so id say with a bit more power and an f28 its not unbelievable,as some one else said though it didnt feel very safe.

I can certainly say from experience 150+ in the C20LET's natural home (calibra in my case) feels a hell of alot safer that a corsa...

Ive had 138 on sat nav in the vts in germany, as you said small cars do not feel good at that speed

Have you changed the final drive ratio? If not im afraid to tell you you where actualy doing 139mph tops. Which is all an f20 is geared for no matter the power

what dont you understand about that, letting them drive and run the car at full pace will show it wont break and i dont know what they are doing out of my sight so i wont be held responsible if it breaks that simple enough for you
