From the title i thought it would be a "baiter" Chav claiming his 1.2 "blinged" corsa wooped a cossies ass on his local "1/4 mile" between maccyd's and Burger king in a 20 zone out side a school at 3:30 pm

At least youve got a decent engine in it and a good power to wieght ratio!!

Nice one mate! Everyone would care if you claimed it without proof. Would all care to call you a liar and how crap your car is. They'd also care if you lost. They care when it suits them.

Car was looking and sounding great all day mate, i think you raced my mate at one point in this.....

i didn't see an escos there, must of been blind!
Judging by that time, the cossie had a mare, that 60ft is the same time as mine and i did a 12.8.

You obviously haven't seen the purple corsa that runs 11.4 without a turbo then

Great fun beating more expensive machinery.

I took my old car to the central day a few years ago and ran a 13 dead which iirc was one of the quickest fwd times of the day lol

I came away very happy
