Fair play But the skid marks appear to come from the kerb,bet plod loved that

 

I still can't fully understand how he fucked up... Tried speaking to him when it happened and he was in another world... Havnt seen him since...

 

Think i along with many others say bring it to the pod and we will see what happens of the line as i have a saph which is only 327bhp with no anti lag ect and we will see what happens

 

Martin I did try

 

its for sale

cossies are good. but saying tht i swear at my local meet theres a mental corsa running 300plus bhp on a gt series turbo etc it ate a evo 6 ad a turboed civic

 

Here's a 2wd cossie launching...

Obviously it suffers from lag and a corsa would DESTROY it up to 20 cos it's so shit off the line

Rayland- Kinda like Jurassic Park, just full of blokes called Ray?

 

Just your everyday, average stage 1 cossie eh mate lol......think even the guy who came out with the shit about the corsa might have realised he's chattin bollocks by now

 

That ain't no ordinary stage one.. It's a gunship

 

Yeah your car looked awsome lighting up al 4s pal

 

Was that on your driveway too?

 

look most peoples 3door or saff have no anti lag or launch control thus will struggle to get of the line simples, I can see why a 1.2 light as shit corsa will get of the line better than a 350 bhp saff, but after 25 to 30 mph they are dead.

 

You're lucky that's only a fiesta next to it, if it had been a mighty 1.2 corsa you'd have been in trouble!

 

What the FUCK is that black 3 door running?

 

Some mental YB IIRC and some fat ass slicks by the looks of it

 

And you are considering buying a 450Bhp 3 door? .. The wreckage site will be bigger than Hiroshimas fall out

 

800+hp yb, it runs low 9's on street tyres apparently has run an 8 now! Still no match for a 1.2 corsa!

 

no offence i can handle my car full boost in the rain, even in the snow just fine thanks. Great productive comment though mate

 

Cheers johny, i think most people cant read and are just jumping on the bandwagon. I did originally say 0-20 then after the corsa will get fucked.

 

I read it just fine.....all be it mine is T3 powered I still would piss allover it 0-20.... Anyone who can drive/ launch a cossie would agree.

 

mat what do u launch yours at? Im to old for giving it stick at the lights now

 

Simple physics through traction and weight transfer would suggest that the more powerful, even though its heavier, 2wd Cosworth will get off the line and get to 20mph quicker then a 1.2 Corsa.

Seriously, go back to school, and actually try paying attention whilst your there!

 

I don't really look/notice tbh it's more sound with me... But I would guess around 3-4k mate.

 

Ford Sierra Cosworth (standard):
How fast

• 0-30mph 2.5 sec
• 0-60mph 6.2 sec
• 0-100mph 16.1 sec

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 (you're lucky I couldn't find the 1.2 figures!):
How fast

• 0-30mph 3.9 sec
• 0-60mph no data
• 0-100mph no data

Would you like anything else with your large slice of fail?

 

I think i used to at 4k but that was back in the day. I.d much rather go slow and get noticed then boot it when the times right.

 

They are dead after 0 to....

Or do you think a Cosworth accelerate like this?

0 - 30 16.1
0 - 60 6.2
0 - 100 2.5

It's a bit absurd, if you ask me.

 

Bollox mate there's no way a standard 20yr old cossie would do that now.

 

And bollocks there's any standard ones on the road being raced around

 

what u on about u put the figures up, i bet your mum's really proud of u isnt she

 

You are right.... all will be faster as who has a std Cossie now?!?!?!

you even said yours is a stage1....

face it, you are talking UTTER UTTER UTTER UTTER SHITE!!!!!!!!

Corsa 1.2 quicker as its lighter.... I mean Jesus....

 

I can see the debate, and I do NOT agree that a 1.2 Corsa is quicker than any Cossie 0-25, all things being equal.

However, maybe if the Corsa driver was giving it 100% and the Cossie driver bogged down and maybe wasn't trying that hard or even reacted late, then the scenario proposed could happen quite easily.

Facts say the Corsa can never win, but in a real world situation of randomness, it can happen

 

I think you've missed the point sweetheart

 

old 2wd Std saff Cossies arent exactly heavy..... what 1200kg??? and new Corsa 1.2's are not exactly light.


Modern cars have sooooooooooo much safety stuff on them and luxury bits.

 

YES. totally agree. Its because as we keep saying. He can't drive his car.

 

Yeah old cars, even stuff like 90's Scoobs weigh next to nothing compared to modern cars.

Hold on, the 90's was like 20 years ago now, so yeah that stuff is old

 

And I forgot one other theory as to the Cossies slow set off..... it misfired! LOL

 

Amen.....

 

your all missing the point, ok so it may not be till 20mph but the point im trying to make is it WILL be quicker of the line, up untill what point i dont know, depends on spec etc BUT IT WILL BE QUICKER OF THE LINE SIMPLES! even if its just for 5meters IT WILL BE QUICKER OF THE LINE.

And i take your point on board about new cars having heavy safety features but they are designed for town driving, thats why there pokey of the line as there lighter whereas the cossie is obviously quicker after the initial x amount of distance the corsa will pull away quicker, the same way a cyclist or sprinter will too.

 

I had exactly this with an old mate.. pub talking that his 1.4 nova would beat my 2wd sapph off the line as mine would be all lag??
mine was T3 320bhp 330lb torque and one night I saw him at a set of lights. I sat there for 2 sets of reds waiting for him to come round the roundabout and he pulled up next to me saying ..right I wil show you. lol
4k revs and let off the clutch and bye bye. changed to 2nd looked in my mirror and he is only just pulling away!!

your sapph has problems mate??
