...talking to a guy yesterday at the Chester VW dealership who has recently bought a new VXR corsa, just wanted to say:

1: It was nice talking to you
2: Hope you get the problems with your car sorted
3: I see what you mean about the edition 30 don't worry I won't tell your boss you put me off the R32 they were trying to sell me

Should have asked what your forum name was!!!

Nothing, but I didn't know about the edition 30 which gives you 230bhp against the standard 200 on the GTi It's also cheaper to buy/insure/tax/run/service than the R32.......but the V6 does sound nice.

I had a play with an ED30 the other week, had the better of him 2/3 lol

so 10bhp behind the r32.. n fwd...

should just get the r32... ans save to turbo it

R32's are nice but for the price i'd rather get something different I think.

hpa bi turbo?

i want one lol!! 550bhp ish or something

ED30 is the better car IMO, the R32 engine isn't really that exciting (beyond the noise) and there are almost zero reasonable tuning options.

Where as an ED30 will hit 300bhp with just a remap and rinse pretty much any Corsa VXR, probably even the few 300+ ones.

Add an exhaust, CAIS and an uprated fuel pump and that becomes ~350bhp.

I've contemplated one since I started looking for the ST, I just worry that visually they lack character when compared with the likes of the ST or VXR.

300BHP can and has been done in a completely usable fashion in a FWD format.

Is your VXR standard?

yeah but u wont get a 0-60 time uder 5seconds in a fwd car.

and erm slightly

[mikeh]

Who gives a crap about 0-60? This figure is irrelevant in the real world - I can't remember the last time I did a full bore launch from standstill.

30-100 is far more relevant. To give you an idea of its relevance, my ST (~280bhp) managed to hold off an E46 M3 from about 30-90. That is a car that does 0-60 almost a second quicker than mine supposedly does.
