im talking literally here. A corsa would beat a cossie of the line as its lighter the same way a sprinter or a cyclist would. Its basic physics. Of course if u got launch controll anti lagg or twin scroll its different.
so u lot think a heavy saph cos of the line is quicker than a little light nippy 1.2 with no turbo lag?? oh dear pmsl. It will easily be quicker of the line, and i did only say up to about 20mph not 0-60
Did constant 2.6s also at ford fair again on 450bhp boost level
If it was Brunters with Datron (or similar) then I reckon it will be right, Ford Fair however..... 450hp doesn't surprise me, mine had too much wheel spin at 2.88 0-60.

Yeah its difficult to get the power down through 225 rally slicks
I'd just been on track in my first session with boost down low and dad didn't realise, set the fastest time all day!
Martin what times has your new car set,any plans to try some 1/4 and o-60 before it sells.
Never done a 0-60 in the new car, might have a go one day if it doesn't sell but can't be arsed with all that anymore tbh. I'm officially an old bastard now
I agree with u mate. My brother had standard 1.2 corsa, i got stage 1 saph, his used to always beat me of the lights, probally up to about 25 30mph but on dual carrigeways and motorways no chance. Keep racing out of the town and streets where its safer on the motorways etc. No kids about etc
No offence you need to know how to drive it properly! As standard they are sub 6 seconds in the dash to 60 which few cars can do nowadays, leave alone a Corsa lol!
You need to learn where the powerband lies with the Cosworth, get it right and you will get a nice launch, get it wrong and they bog down and you wont get off to a fast start... initially!

I imagine so. The guy is using it a lot on the road ATM done track days, taken the piss out of record holders for hill climbs just loving it, I'm jealous
It`s nice to see it beeing used the way it was build for. Hate when lovley cars been breaking and sold in parts. Is your old man, building a new toy or is he beaten by the age like Martin lo.

Are you for fucking real...?... Mate has a redtop corsa tricked up and my standard 3dr at 10 psi smashed it a new arse hole off the lights and upto 150mph where I couldn't see him anymore... And here is what happens when they think they can corner faster than me off a round about... Like I said in your other thread... Real men drive 3dr cosworth... This lad tried beating me through 3 round abouts... I exited the last one at 60 on full lock... And this was a red top....

I'm not really beaten by age tbh (Harvey is older) but I've lost interest, if the engine and box sells them an evolution will appear...
Just kidding, i now what you say. You have been there done that, times comes for trying something new. Was looking at your escos when you was on gatebil, just love it
Martin I only nipped shop and some 21yr old said his corsa was quicker... So off I went down a staight to the first round about by this time I'm already 15 cars in front... Then he must have thought I'll get him through the round abouts.... How wrong was he.... .... I looked In my mirror as I exited the last round about and saw him bouncing from the kerbs....
So I had to go back and help him... When the coppers turned up I told him to tell them his ball joint had gone....
