Had a do with my mates GSi, which is pushing about 140bhp-ish. From a standing start down a DC we were dead level until he maxed out about 128mph and I kept going.
Had another do down a local country road. He's on coilovers so I thought it would be pretty even but I managed to pull away a probably 7 car lenghts over a mile or so.
Did some braking tests. Mine is standard disks, new Ferodo front pads and ****ed back ones (which i'm changing today) and he's on Astra GSi brakes. From 30mph he came to a stop about 2 feet less than me, from 70mph it was about 8 or 9 feet less.
Also did a roundabout test to see what speeds we could get. We're both on Eagle F1 GSD's on the front, i'm on Avon ZV3's on the back and he has pilot exaltos. He managed to get 41mph constantly round a roundabout and I managed about 43mph, finishing with a nice arse end out exit onto the DC lol.
All in all a good do, both cars cost similar amounts, but the Corsa is a bit newer.
See ya
