Corsa 1.7 CDTi Made me smile

[Ross1308]

Drove one of these the other day, OMFG OMFG OMFG its so fucking fast anyone else drove one, only 99bhp but fuck me they shift so much tourqe feels like its gonna lift off, i was like :panic::clapping:

[Prickle]

Well it will be its bigger engine size the your saxo. :fcuk:

[Ross1308]

Lol yes but the sheer acceleration of the thing blew me away, shitted all over a VTR and was on the ass of a zetec-s with a 1.7 puma lump

What track was this on...?

[minxymears]

Whh track was this on...?


;) lol :p

Figures:

Engine Size 1686 cc
Cylinders 4
0-60 mph 12.5 s
Power Output 73 bhp
Valves 16
Torque 165 Nm 121 lb-ft
Top Speed 106 mph

Not looking that impressive .... and a VTR is (should be) quicker ...


***EDIT***
MASSIVE improvement on the facelift:

Engine Size 1686 cc
Cylinders 4
0-60 mph 10.5 s
Power Output 98 bhp
Valves 16
Torque 240 Nm 177 lb-ft
Top Speed 116 mph

That is a fair torque figure!! But a VTR should still be quicker:

Engine Size 1587 cc
Cylinders 4
0-60 mph 9.1 s
Power Output 100 bhp
Valves 8
Torque - 100 lb-ft
Top Speed 120 mph

they seem pretty quick on teh motorways.

Still shit though

[Add91289]

diesels produce more torque then petrol cars ;)

[Cal]

[Ross1308]

Lol will get pics when i see him next out hes got it lowered, SRI alloys in white (black corsa btw), hes got like a purplish and creme leather interior, DVD screens in all headrests and in dash, H.I.D's loads of shit its fucking mint

[shady22]

yea they do have abit of torque feels gd wen ur in 1

[0rang3peel]

they are slow.

[Mr_P]

A fast exciting diesel corsa?











Feck off!!

[furiomike]

diesel's often feel quicker than they are. i think all the torque makes them feel light, but they still ain't really going that quick.

[Chin]

diesels produce more torque then petrol cars ;)

Sherlcok has entered the premisses !!

ive drove the 1.3 cdti and that was immensly quick. but dont get my head around low compression turbos :S

[MARTYN19588]

my 306 feels faster than my corsa cause of the torque then i look at the speedo and remember there both as shit as each other :y:

[miamibluebaby]

no...lol

[MiniGibbo]

the corsa 1.3 is stupidy slow and can only imagine the 1,7 being nearly as bad im affraid :(

Ever been in a car with a bigger engine than a 1.7 D ?

[Ross1308]

Yeah my uncles 2.7 litre porsche

[TU-Tuning]

My mate got one remapped that was on the forecourt of his dads garage, was reasonably nippy. Kept up with VTRs. This was years back though so I was well impressed. Didnt know shit about cars then, couldnt even change a wheel lol, but still thought it handled like a turd

[dj_russell]

i used to eat 1.7td corsa cs in my 1.4 corsa b sport with a mantzel inlet,exhaust and inductionkit lol so not very quick at all tbh mind i used to eat vtrs aswell.

LOL... :zainy:

[LeeM]

not that fast really, and shit.
i also doubt he'll see 50% power increase from a remap alone

[MiniGibbo]

Yeah my uncles 2.7 litre porsche

So to answer my question no you havent been in a fast car ^^

[matt_vtr_15]

you seem to be easily pleased....

especially when in terms of normal production cars pretty much every newish turbo diesil would spank it...

By no means are they fast or quick, on that note neither is my vtr they are just nippy.

0-60 in under 6 secs is something that is quick, not something around the 10 second mark...

even with the higher torque it's still pretty low torque in relation to most other cars...

[matt_vtr_15]

So to answer my question no you havent been in a fast car ^^

hahaha, was going to say the same...

[louis_23]

my mate got corsa-c sri slow as foook looks nice tho with subtle mods. he had a vtr before and wish he never change now. ;)

[Saxotim]

my mates got a corsa d 1.7 cdti sxi. just on a level with my vtr in terms of performance. and my vtr is much better around the corners, where it matters lol :y:

[dj_russell]

a remap might get you a nice little gain being a turbo, and make it perform a little better.

[Ross1308]

So to answer my question no you havent been in a fast car ^^

Im sorry but how is a 2.7 litre porsche not fast

Acceleration from 0 - 100 km/h (0 - 62 mph)
5.3 s
5.2 s (5.0 Sport +)

[stiffler69]

Where did you get them figures from the 3.2 top of the range model doesnt even do 0-60 that quick i pressume you are talking about a porsche boxter here

[dj_russell]

haha sneaky not meantioning boxter lol. why do boxter owners only say porsche they never say i drive a boxter lol.

[stiffler69]

haha sneaky not meantioning boxter lol. why do boxter owners only say porsche they never say i drive a boxter lol.

Other than the caymen its the only other model the used the 2.7 in and even the caymen dont come in with 0-62 times like this so im lost really

[Matt67]

haha sneaky not meantioning boxter lol. why do boxter owners only say porsche they never say i drive a boxter lol.

To be fair i'd rather own a porsche boxster than a saxo..

[MiniGibbo]

mega lolz at 5's for a 2.7

Well tbh i can call a 2.7 porka slow seeing as ive had personal experiance with a 2.7 caymen.

3.2 s maybe there low 6's iirc but still not fantastic, a fast one is a 911 3.2 turbo 4wd :clapping:

I will say though although a little slow in the straights even a 2.7 boxter is as well engineered. Its hard to explain until you drive one it ticks all the boxes percise steering good weighted feedback and the brakes are bang on.

To name jsut a few "fast" cars

911 turbo
gallardo
m3/5/6
f430
360
355

do i need to go on...

[Ross1308]

Got those figures from the Porsche website and oh yeah its a boxster s :D

Not trying to argue with anyone just saying how is that not fast :D

ner ner ner, I've been in faster cars than you.

The 1.7DTI Corsa is not fast. We've got a 1.7 DTI old shape astra (similar wight and performance) here and my girlfriend hates it. It's hideously slow. My school teacher girlfriend thinks it's slow.

Them specs on the website are for the new boxster s 3.4 litre not the 2.7 buddy look at displacement thats engine size

[Ross1308]

lol my bad, only looked at times

[dj_russell]

To be fair i'd rather own a porsche boxster than a saxo..

and me but if i could afford one i wouldnt buy one id buy an evo.:y:

[Ashleyp]

they seem pretty quick on teh motorways.

Still shit though

Steve, straight to the point

its still a corsa doh :n:

learn to spell

A fast exciting diesel corsa?

Feck off!!

lol, oh so true

[bytor]

oil burner?

[Ashleyp]

my 306 feels faster than my corsa cause of the torque then i look at the speedo and remember there both as shit as each other :y:

hahaha, this is quality
