looks like hes going to have me then lol!

just found this thread on vxr online... take a look

http://www.vxronline.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=17499&highlight=glanza



i like this quote:

"the glanza/starlet are quick but just not nice to drive, just feels like the car can manage the power and feels like its gonna fall apart, believe me you have the better car, whether his is modified and faster or not."

ok then. mine feels pretty solid!? considering how much older it is its easily as good as a car nearly 10 years newer.

and whats the fun in buying a £15k car when you can buy a £3k car and spend £10k on it making it your own?

why even bother compare the 2 cars?

i mean come on, there completely different.

they come from different generations, and have different engine sizes.

i dont feel all of what them corsa boy's were strictly fair, and the same goes for some of the comments on this page.

if they were both standard they would probably be the same upto 70, then the extra cc's will help the corsa power past.

no point in talking about modded motors, as what you do to the starlet can be done to the vauxhall.

so now were comparing a new top of the range 1.6 turbo against a 10year old + 1.3 turbo lmao. Anyway who cares its the driver that makes the race on a strip I've seen people running td04's doing worse drag times than a standard ct9 with a bar of boost lol. So take your mate to the pod and see what they do if he wins then get yours modified to the same state as his and then try again. Its too easy to say you'll win or he'll win get it to the strip and find out. Then when you kick his ass join that forum and gloat lol.

you will need a turbo like td04 or similar to compete.

even with 180hp it wont match a 250hp car even if its a bit heavier i very much doubt

let him.



you will need a td04 kit, some 330cc injectors, and an emanage, running roughly 1bar boost, and tune it to the best it can be.

failing that you will need to forge your engine and run more boost.

but seriously dude, give it up.

there is a lot of difference between the 2 cars, age and technology mainly.

who cares if he beats you? does it really matter that a newer, more expensive, larger engined, more powerful car is faster than yours? its hardly anything to be ashamed of!

lol yeah tbh i agree,

no point modding your car just to be "faster" than someone else.. youll end up dead.

may aswell mod it because YOU want to do it

that forum certainly wasnt fair to glanzas, can't believe they think a 106gti is faster, i mean ffs ep's are over 0.5secs quicker to 60. But yeh stock vs stock the vxr is quicker but on the other hand most ep's aren't standard and most vxr's are. And tuning wise you can push both cars to the limit of fwd.

edit sorry guys thought your glanza was 192bhp, your gonna have 1 hell of a hard task beating that!!

in all honesty if i were to put money on it, glanza for me, my friend had a play with 1 keeping to speed limits bearing in mind, in his gsi nova and said there was nothing in it and they arent fast cars by any means

sounds rediculous but they are light, vxr are heavy and he scares me round corners believe me! i do believe him tbh


so if my glanza will have a hard time beating the vxr, and you belive your mate beat a vxr in a nova gsi are you saying a nova gsi will beat a glanza lmao

alot depends on the driver neway.

if he was fearless aka stupid and didnt care about his car im sure he was pushing it very hard,

and the vxr driver wasnt
