2016 Opel Corsa OPC

[FiestaST]

The Sport looks very good, and it is priced right. If you compare it to a Verveeld Wagen it really is a much more attractive offering. The OPC will be epic, remember that the guys over at OPC only get to do their magic on cars after they go on sale to the general public. They really are a true tuning house per definition.

Yup they are good; good engineers...almost as good as Renaultsport...close but no cigar...

RenaultSport is good. Very good to be honest. This is all that - and German

Anyone else think the new Corsa looks proper **** compared to the previous model?

Yes. Me. Might just be FOMO for me though. I own a current spec Corsa OPC and I adore her. Seeing something more modern might just be making me hate it...

I beg to differ. I have surprised many a Golf GTI, 5 , 6 and 7 with my ST. Even when I was stock.

What mod(s) did you do?

 

[XennoX]

What mod(s) did you do?

Usual mods would be:

> Downpipe
> Software
> Cold Air Induction

Anybody on this thread running NOS on their vehicle? And if so - where do you get yours refilled in JHB?

 

[saturnz]

Used the love the turbo whoosh sound from Astra ts. You dont get that from Opel anyone?

if you are referring to the dumping of wasted charged air then the TS did not make that sound as there was no factory installation of a dump valve.

 

[skeptic_SA]

Whooosh? I be having it !

An induction kit was the first upgrade I did on my OPC.

The pre f/lift Corsa D OPC pricing is going really keen these days.

Interesting to see how GMSA pitches the price of the 2016 model locally.

Agreed. Saw a 2009 a few months back in that shimmer black with under 80000km (and no upgrades) going for R105K negotiable. One careful lady driver... yeah right

If you can't afford an OPC the new Corsa Essentia with option pack 1 (aircon&audio) are now going for R180k on the GM Red Tag sale.

Matt from Car Buyer reviews the new Corsa OPC/VRX.

Good car but don't go for the optional Sports Pack.

He reckons middle ground between the more fun Fiesta ST & more grown-up Polo GTI

I also can't understand why Opel/Vauxhall give you car with standard xenons; infotainment system etc but no climate control standard

Looks very nice, but it will be too pricey when it gets here.

Kinda agree...the "warm" Sport is full house & relatively great value. 1.4T with 110kw

 

[FiestaST]

Whatever happen to this...plans just went silent?

Is GMSA asleep at their desk.

This is only junior hot hatch missing from the SA market...

 

[FiestaST]

Still no news from GMSA as to when this is hitting the local market.

They must be snoozing on job....

 

[Rouxenator]

At the best of times they can do one thing at a time, I think they are all in on the Astra K right now.

 

[Drifter]

I reckon will be around the R330K mark.

Let me revise this statement of mine seeing the way car prices have gone. I reckon it will touch R380K.
