Nitrous'd 2.0 16v on throttle bodies.

There are a few minor things up with it currently, it will be 50bhp more once he makes some changes ive recomended to him, so then he can beat modified evos by even more, lol


Seriously quick little car.

That wasnt his best run either, he did a 12.2 as well


And that was last sunday, it was snowing lightly at the time, so hardly ideal conditions for FWD either

COol thanks, i couldnt see the time of the evo properly.

WHo was first over the line tho?

I dont know much about drag racing and as such im guessing that its the person over the line first that counts not he who has the best time?

IE reaction time is taken into account?

The corsa was first over the line, you can tell cause the corsa score board lights up just before the evo one.

Bloody awsome to watch it go in the flesh, just so much more controlled power than the turbo novas that go up there.. Much more progressive

The car has been around for a few years now.

Always looked the same and always been mentally fast.

Got some vids of me and a mate racing it in a phase 3 let nova , he had some serious traction issues back then

great vid
