What sort of times cud you expect from a standard 16v cupra gti on a 1/4 mile drag strip? Couple lads at work are into the corsas and novas wi redtops and are always talking about it, Would love to shut them up :p

Mid 15's on a standard valver, depending on how well the red top conversion's been done they will run quicker as the corsa and especially the nova are lighter cars.

However they will look like a lairy chav and you won't......................

16v vs 16v

mine had an extra person in and i think the other was stripped... show how much weight plays

EDIT: Other guy is a member on here though i cant for the life of me remember who it is

only one I can think of is greg



Stuff 1/4 miles, don't see much interest in going flat out in a straight line! Much rather a track where you have braking points and most importantly corners! You try and get a redtop corsa/nova to take a corner as quick as the Mk2 could or any other hot hatch in fact!

The corsa/nova would probably end up going through the corner and taking a rough and hard shortcut!

it seems fine. bit noisy this morning on tick over. if it wasnt for the exhaust rattle it would be a perfect journey every time. may be able to get it on ramp tomorrow and do all the little jobs like rear disc, track rod end, maybe exhaust, maybe drop it 60mm if i have 45 minutes spare.
