Matt
I would have to disagree.
IMO the Nova 1.3 SR is faster than mine, however i do not think the GTE/GSI would beat a corsa GSI.
My friend has a GSI and its only quicker than my car in first and a part of second, after that i stuck with him.
He even admitted i was keeping up.
so ur sayin that a Nova 1300cc SR would beat urs.....but u keep up with a 1600i GTE/GSi......? Ur mates GSi must be mashed mate......coz that just dont make sense.
Matt
My point exactly. The engines are worn mate thats why today i dont think you got a point, however when they first come out i think it would be close.

i agree with damio, id much rather have a tidy nova than a tidy punto
my 1.4SR was absolutly mint, and kept up with nova GTE's (had a few tuning goddies) and handled like it was on tracks

Yeah i wasnt sure about it when i wrote it tbh, the novas have a thinner steel but not sure how much of a difference it would have made.

No but what i was gettin at is the way in which a car is looked after will make a difference. ie: a looked after older nova will be in better condition than a not so looked after younger corsa.....dispite that fact that they are of poor quality built, and susceptableness to rust, tosser
Eg...My 10 year old corsa, that has full vauxhall service history, (serviced twice yearly from 93-97), and owned by one gentleman since new who had it garaged, had alot of rust on the underside, b pillar cracks, arches etc..... Where as my brother's nova which i believe has been ragged to bits since birth, messed around with, had only slight rust to one arch before it went into the bodyshop for its makeover.

Ok so its a Euro Nova, and it has thiose orrid 14"s, but the guys done this himself.
Never seen a punto as clean, tidy, or well maintained as that!!
Then theres Brett (??) Turquiose green Nova on TB, An amazing car. Also, that SBD 225bhp 2.1 16v, Perspex windows, blue, painted alloys. Also, @ PVS, a yellow Nova, blakc 17"s, bit like the one above, twin chromed carbs etc.
Novas are a passion for a lot of people. Puntos are not liked like that. There are reasons

I no wot u mean m8, my mates nova 1400SR with various mods is rapid as anything. Although never tried agaist a GTE/GSi, it does eat corsa 1.4 8v SRis for breakfast

If something costs £1million, only a few people can buy something. If something is priced at £500,000 then twice as many people will be able to afford one.
You following ? (just try I know its hard)
So, take a nova, produced over decades, made millions, cost pennies, this means that everyone who can afford a penny chew could potentially buy a Nova, and have, so therefore by the masses dictating the market more people have the Nova and have modified it. Getit ? Silly question really. Stick to posing in future lol

You can buy any shitty car, but it takes time and money to build it Dumb arse
And as for what u say, well, Puntos aint exactly expensive, and theres far more highly modified corsas, built to the same kind of standard as above as there are novas.
No-one wants to do the punto's
And why should something written by such an idiot as yourself (i know im bored, lets try to start winding people up, yeah, nice guy muppet ) be so hard to understand by me. It like reading a comic book your replies
Go back to wonderland my sweet

If its tuned i should hope its faster. I'd say the 1400's are on par, so if its tuned it would be faster, would no way eat my car for breakfast

TRUE BUT THIINK BOUT IT, every car is almost worthless at one point so is'nt it a waste of money buying £20,000 new cars that only owrht £4000 about 5- 6 years later?????
a nova gsi is faster than corsa gsi????my opinion is that they're about the same, 1.4sri corsa faster than 1.3 sr FACT, i would rather a gsi nova in mint condition unmolested and save the extra pennies that a corsa would cost to buy a manta gt/e,
but i would only ever have a gt/e or gsi nova nothing less,
i like my xr3i's they're equal to a nova gsi speed wise
