Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
Beg the question, who cares?!
However, you don't state which revision of MR2 it is so that could make a fair difference...

Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
My mate had a std MR2 Turbo and his girlfriend a 2.0 16V Nova and the Nova had the edge down a straight.
Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
The corsa will struggle with traction off of the line, but then hey, so will the tubby lol.
Hate to say it, but my money would be on the Corsa. Lightweight car with good BHP = fast.

std boost , should be close.

Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
Corsa should have the mr2 easily, as long as it can get the power down. Calibra turbo engine, imagine slightly over 200BHP, in a small car like a Corsa is going to eat the 220ish bhp of the tubby for breakfast.

Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
unless you get a great launch, i cant see you beating it....
i cant imagine you have anymore than 200bhp in your mr2, and in 1250-1300kg, Vs a corsa with a better power to weight, will be very close....

I will !
No traffic light grand prix though on public roads.... tell him to come to a track where it is a safe and controlled environment.
MR2 will grip and go standing start, Corsa will struggle.... mid range, the corsa will go past you due to the shear weight advantage. You'lll find Corsa / Nova turbos pull 13.00 - 13.50 qrt miles most days... if yours is stock, not boosted up... 14.2 qrt mile... thats quite few car lengths ahead ! Boost yours up and you'll be close ... mid 13's if you can drive well ! [/code]

Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
I have a N/A and my friend with a 2.0 corsa with throttle boddies only just got away from me on the motor way.
He cant get it off the line tho.

Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
Handling wise i cant seeing the CORSA coming any where near the MK2 also the REv1's have alot of torque down low so you never know plus top end even with a heavier car i can still see the REV1 winning as its more aerodynamic
Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
If you spent the kind of money that this blokey with the Corsa has on his engine, and spooged it on engine mods for the MR2 then it would absolutely thrash it!!!!!
Its a silly question tbh - any hatchback with a 2.0+ turbo conversion is bound to be extemely quick, but it is being compared to a practically stock MR2 - £4000 of engine conversion versus an induction kit lol!!
You could post up saying i have given my golf cart a 3.0 V6 with nitrous and a carbon fibre body to shave weight, and then ask the same question!!

Earl with members like us the MR2 will be seen for what it is a fanatstic sports car with supercar potential of course with abit of tuning
Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
I raced a Corsa LET at pod that had made 197@wheels in my Maestro, i ran a 14.3@99 he ran a [email protected] .
FYI
Corsa GSi with let is around 1080KGs. 4doors will obviously be more.

Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
the chav invasion has started
Re: import 2 turbo Vs. 2.0 turbo corsa
think what yous will. im far from a chav. keep your high and mighty views to yourself and maybe try and drive your car how its designed to be driven, if not im sure a focus would suit you down to the ground.
the corsa is a chav mobille ... i meerly asked incase he smoked me at the track.
im confidient tho
on the street until 3rd (when i backed off becasue dont like very high speed racing on public roads) i had 4-5 car lengths on him.
he said it goes better in 5th tho ?
by then , could he catch me ? time will tell
