Anyone had a go with a VXR Corsa yet ?

[Poopensharten]

There claimed to do the 0-60 dance in 6.8, is that not the same as a 182?

Turbo lag is supposedly Vauxhalls worst nightmare on most models

no turbo lag on mine. astra vxr has some so ive been told

Your car will have some turbo lag i think eliminating turbo lag is like finding the holy grail.

Porsche claim to have sussed it by having the turbo chargers move in 180* to make compensate for different pressures of gears,humidity,revs etc etc.

Even at that they say it can still be better, i highly doubt that a Corsa VXR has absolutley no turbo lag what-so-ever!

pmsl not 1 person on this forum is going to own up to getting beat off a vxr that guy with the 172 who thinks he left him, get real pal his engine was probs not run in yet might have been short shifting,0-60 might be close but 60-100 vxr will win with ease.
172 cup will be hard pushed to stay level with a vxr from rolling start,remap the vxr as most will be bye bye cup

5th gear did the 197 vs the corsa VXR, and the clio pulled loads through the track. The handling of the Corsa was poor, its on youtube somewhere...

Aye okay mr Half empty, your making the VXR out some sort of Audi eater f**k sake, its got 189bhp yes but it weighs 1223kg's and makes 230Nm of Torque.

The clio cup weighs 1021kg's and makes 200Nm of Torque...

Now if my math is b****cks (and it isnt) thats 200kg's of extra weight that the super duper Audi eating Turbo is carrying. And also has 17bhp to compensate for, now that doesnt really equate to me to be honest.

If i was hedging a bet on an empty run way with a Cup and VXR both with the same calliber of driver and what have you then im afraid my money would go on the Clio.

A naturally asspirated car that weighs next to f**k all against somthing thats got a higher power output,higher centre of gravity and 200kgs more round a track?

I think the Corsa would be left licking its wounds imo.

Also if i can add i really like the VXR corsa as it happens, cracking car

corsa has 266nm of torque when the throtle is fully open as it has a "overboost" feature thats ups it from 230 to 260.

Been watching a few vids and they seem to be rapid.

Not sure about the 197 but 172/182 should give a good contest

Love the way your blinkered into thinking the 197 is slower than a 172/182.... Brilliant! Worrying thing is you own one. What car did you come from, because point to point if you take the brakes and handling and grip, it feels as fast as my old 172 cup!
