John Thorne (thorney on here from the very beginning) you should be ashamed of yourself for putting your name to that quote

I am certain Johns, mugello RS4 was a lot quicker than any Vauxhall he has tampered with, didn't he go to the dark side and play with VX220's?

I had a fiesta turbo that was quicker than that 15 years ago - 225bhp in a 950kg car!
I wouldn't fancy doing a top speed run in a car like that - short wheelbase cars become very unstable at speed.

one word for that corsa- BULLSHIT!
Wouldnt come close to an M3 or RS6, its a bloody vauxhall for christsake, even if it did go as fast as they claim, it would be so rusty within a month that anything over 50mph would result in panels falling off.

I'm almost back in the RS fold - as Ken said, there's a black Avant on its way to me next week.
Table dancing, here we come !!

The Lotus Carlton was a totally different beast altogether. It's still fast today!

Agree, the Lotus Carlton was very quick, just very badly built.
I can't see how you can compare a Corsa with C6 - My daughter has one, and I wouldn't want to go any more than 100mph in a tin box
