Slag off a Vauxhall Thread
« on: 30 July 2008, 16:01 »
right i have a standard R32 :smiley:.. and a mate of mine has a tuned corsa vxr 239bhp and 274 ft/lb..
and he wants a little run in on a private road ofcourse! i used to have an audi tt but he had me in the corsa when i had the TT.. what do you think the outcome would be in a R32 though?

I dunno, he might have you up to about 50 if it's dry.

Its a Corsa...........  :grin:

Its probably FWD and will wheel spin like dog on fleshly polished floors....

It probably wont have that much low torgue which the .:R has which aids in acceleration.

You have 4WD and launch control.... Use it.

I dont know much about the Corsa though. So im probably talking rubbish....

239 in a shopping trolley. If he hooks it up off the line he will leave you behind quite easily. They are ferociously fast little cars.

If you come to a corner though, he will understeer into a tree and die.

In a straight line, other than 1st gear where the Corsa will be busy wheel spinning and you will gain with 4x4 grip, the Corsa should be faster down to much less weight.

If it is 239bhp (Stage 3) then I don't fancy your chances at all mate..  :sad: Unless it's a standing start to 40mph..  :grin:
He's got similar power and weighs 300kgs less..  :shocked:
