Well I went in a scooby a couple of years back, but i forgot wat that went like! I just didnt think a 2.0 corsa would go that fast.

A Corsa with an XE isn\'t particularly quick. It\'s rapid but it doesn\'t make it that fast as it feels so sensible still.
I\'d imagine the LET to be similar but a bit lairy on boost.

It\'s good fun plus you get a decent mpg too - I\'m averaging around 300 miles from a full tank, so 32mpg based on 42 litres (roughly what I fill up).

So a XE running about 155bhp & not running right pulled away from a 215bhp ctr & kept up with an Evo (280+ maybe?) Hmmmm

I beat Enzos day in day out. Ok, so they don\'t realise we\'re both racing but I still beat \'em!

He was racing, dont think the evo was running right eaither, kickin abit of black smoke out.
The red top is over fueling, thats all, its prob 160bhp with roughly 200bhp per tonne.
Plus, it wasent a \'special\' evo, a Evo2 I think...

pmsl....the ctr i can half believe that it kept up but pull away..... and the evo, no chance! unless it was buggered! people need to get over the fact that a 2ltr corsa is NOT fast! nippy yes fast no! and they dont handle particularly well eather
