why???
this corsa claims to be 170bhp
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/588407.htm
after seeing his corsa last night rest assured it isnt 170bhp i would guess slower than a VTR

"well exhaust system is 10bhp, induction kit is 10bhp, decat is 15% of my cars power.."
and they just add a couple on for the sale

its a red top
150bhp standard, with mods
probably 160
it will smash a vtr to bits lol
and it will kill your vts lol

dont be so stupid, the redtop lump is around 150bhp (standard) depending on what car it came out of. Then its in a corsa of around 900 odd KG. And you think its slower than a VTR?
My Astra GTE has the same engine, weighs more and is faster than a VTS (mate has a VTS) So dont think a 1600 8v would have a chance.

I was looking at this earlyer it probaly is running near to 170bhp imo.
Why do you say its not?

unless he had rolling road results to prove it then i wouldnt believe him.
One of my mates recons his 110cc pitbike is 30bhp, he guessed it was 15bhp new and then he bought an exhaust of ebay thats suppose to add 15bhp, Completely ridiculous, it would be lucky if it was 4bhp. People sometimes believe the figures companys give them and add they onto the parkers standard then a few more because theyve looked after it!

mate its a 150bhp standard engine to start
decat
manifold
filter
unsure what TB would do being enlarged
so id say its over 160, so your gona push it up a bit for sales value

mate, i can confirm it isnt
i raced him last night, yes i know street racing but
kept going up his arse in 3rd had to back off and push again 3times or so, iv got std VTS ... then i went to overtake him after the slip road onto the duelc
i reconsiged that corsa off pistonheads and saw tis last night n thought is it off pistonheads and checked and thought hmm 170bhp?!
VTR would have overtaken him too im sure... not as qucikly as the VTS but it wouldv gone past him lol
Yates
31st August 2008, 19:13
it wasnt that car for a fact then
do you really really think that a vtr would over take a corsa valver?! no chance
i doubt a standard vts would either, my vts is 150, i think it would be close but no chance standard would

How can you tell how much bhp it has got by looking at it lol?
Edit;
Just read your other post.Maybe he is a crap driver or was not going for it.It should kill your standard vts.As yates said they are 150bhp standard,it might not be running run but if it was then it would be near 170bhp and defo quicker than a vts.

31st August 2008, 19:16
The XE engines are 170bhp as standard at production!
Giving that the engine is looked after and mods done properly it should still be around there!
I've got a friend with an LET running 270bhp, so that kind of silly power is easily achieved!
And how do you know how fast it was capable of pat? you not try and race it like you always seem to?
TBH think somebody would waste petrol racing a VTS when he knows he's running that amount of power?
Some people have power and don't need to make up for a lack of penis, like it appears you suffer from pat ...

I mean even still if it's 150bhp yates, surely the mods claimed should create the 20bhp difference?

Yeah that's one of the things running through my head at the min.
I mean it would be long term, and have plenty of people who would help if need be, plus I want to play in another one! He's got an alright shell at the min which could easily be put up to the scratch!
