Neshol mate,

What I mean is that in the pub we say that our car as 200 bhp
After some pints
But the rolling road says that we are drunk

Yer i've got those mods, wont make a lot of difference. Are you sure it's 80bhp, if so that's good from a 1.2. Mind you, the Ford 1.25 Zetecs have 75bhp and have been around for yonks.

a 17in alloy wont slow a 15in alloy cos 205/40/17 are same diameter as thr 185/55/15 standard alloys, it depends on alloy style,

the corsa c sxi is pretty nippy, but they are not faster than a 1.416v.

i know this because my brother has a Sxi and i have a 1.4 16v. lower gears (1st and 2 nd) there isn't much init at all, but as soon as im in third i move away at a fair pace, then 4th and the Sxi is struggling to rev through, then 5th on im already doing a 100 with the sxi tagging along.

they are still pretty impressive for a 1.2 , i know when i had my first race with me bro and i couldn't shake off him around town speeds, wasn't happy considering my engine is bigger
