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.

Let's not forget that the corsa will have significantly less grip due to skinnier tyres (175s?) and the lack of LSD means that the little power there is will more than likely be wasted.As said above they aren't even that much lighter than a cossie either...
It's a bit like saying a Honda c50 moped will get to 20mph faster than an R1 because it's hard to launch an R1...

Alright folks we'll leave it there shall we? And Martin, before you try getting rid of the cossie, send it down the 1/4 mile (and 0-60/100 etc), there's gotta be a low 10 in it, and whats this WRC car J1mbo?

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??

Old fiesta's are shit mate, i know as i used to have one when i was a kid. New engines are out of this world compared to the old engines. They provide much more torque and power compared to twenty years ago. New engines are designed to be pokey of the line as there made with town driving in mind.

This is my life mate! jokes. What im saying is true though although most are to stupid to understand. I tied googling it to get the equation for acceleration, but then v need another equation to work out velocity and its gets proper complicated.

I would start listening to them if I were you, you might learn somthing!Seriously, if you can't get a T3 cossie away faster than a 1.2 Corsa, on pretty much any surface any weather, you need help! You wouldn't even need to launch it hard!

but the modern cars are heavier?
Thought you said it was all about weight?
Seriously.... YOU ARE FUCKING WRONG
AND YOU CAN'T DRIVE!
If you could launch a car. You really wouldnt be having this STOOOOPID discussion.

Way I see it, (x) you don't own a Cos, (y) it's running like warm dogshit or as said (a) you can't pedal it for peanuts.
Now lets equate...
(y) + (a) vs. probability (x) = STFU & stop digging FFS!

Luke sounds a nice decent bloke on most of his replys he adds a crying face to most so he knows it's all just discussion and banter... If I ever came out with such nonsense I expect Luke to shoot me down on here..

Hang fire mate... Not once have I insulted him or bullied him... I'm only talking as I would to his or anyones face... But I just can't see how he thinks the corsa beating the cossie logic works.
