GreyRacer Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 There was a long topic re Celica v Corsa VXR in the Gen 7 section couple of weeks ago. And BTW you are not alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowchinaman Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I remembered when I had a ST202 and they announced new VXR Corsa will be close to 200bhp. I thought NO EFFING WAY! Can't have a little sh1t like that out run me. Then bought the GT4. It is shocking how new cars can be so fast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve92Blade Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Had a similar experience with of all things a SKODA FABIA but with a vRS badge. I got him in the end and once in front I owned him, but had to check out the specs when I got home - 180bhp, 0-60 in 7.3 secs and a top speed of 139 MPH. Turbocharged, super charged,4 cyl, petrol engine. Its not right, fast cars should look like fast cars, not like something my Aunt would go do her shopping in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper-wrap Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 No getting aeway from the fact that a Corsa is a chavs car Nah. This Doesn't have the same image as this and never will. It's a very valid hot hatch, the VXR. And with minor tuning upgrades would absolutely trounce a 190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherv Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 When i had my ST205 i came up behind a white VXR ,as id just changed gear he must have heard my FSSSHHH and took that as a challenge i spose and stuck his foot down,i didnt bother.He was torque steering all over the place as he accelerated away,but by fook it did go i have to say!Still a Vauxhall though.Pff. And yes,theres a lot of modern cars cars that i think shouldnt be allowed! They even do a Zafira VXR-ish hot version for christs sake. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
