Outcome of a race between these 2?

A mate of mine has just dropped the old red top 2.0 16v in his Corsa and is certain he will do a Willy.......is he right?

hmm i reckon it depends if his red top is standard or not

what reg is the corsa? the newer ones are heavier.... have a look at the stats of the new 1.8 corsa and do a bit of creative thinking for ball park figures

YOU MAY BE SURPRISED.. ive had comprehensive ttesting sessions against a 2.0l nova... there quick.. but im quicker... at higher speeds the red top will crawl past...however thatss due to mine being slow top end..a normal hybrid / willy should kick a$$

Well the Willy Hybrid I'm looking to be definitely buying has a few tricks up its sleeve too, cams, zorst, filter, decat etc so what'dya all think?

The XE'd novas and corsa's are fast.

suppose it all depends how, and if, each car is modded... certainly if the XE'd hybrid is running a standard ish or average suspension setup the willy would piss on them round any bends


they are nippy though, but mainly because they're so light... well the nova especially.. still sheds though

Yeah plus the fact a williams is a far more sexy car and to drive and feel.........much better!!

The 2.0 Novas/corsa are quite quick I'd say maybe quicker than a zorsted willy but will get spanked by a good hybrid

the stripped out nova 2.0 i encountered was felt crazy.. very torquey and sounded mental..
the speckly paint job let it down.

Didnt get to have my go last night with one unfortunatly but i still stand by my words that from the higher speeds you should be on him!!!

I thought the only 2.0 corsas to be aware of were the turbo ones which can be very fast!?
