Any of you seen this little demon on the roads yet? What do you think, besides it being an Opel? :P

I think you GTIs and A3 2.0t best watch out soon :P

Yeah i've seen 2 so far. A blue one in centurion and a black one i think... Only 2 words i have for it: "****ing Awesome!" :D

I wouldn'y buy one though. Resale value on those cars suck....or so i've heard
 
Yea resale sucks ... at least they're not badly pricd to start with though (I heard R215k - but I'm not sure). The other thing that puts me off is it's an Opel.

My brother & a few friends had to move 10 units to another location yesterday with another 10 later today. He tried getting the attention of most hot hatches on the way ;) and eventually got a GTI interested. The GTI is quicker ... very, very marginally ... and it'd certainly give the driver a fright if he's not concerntrating.
 
Yeah the Opel badge doesnt really rate too high in the status department. But one thing's for sure, this car really turns some heads ...
 
Nice car, just a bit overpriced considering you can get a Clio RS for cheaper.

Alright I didn't know the exact pricing when posted and assumed at R215,000 it wasn't bad. At R230,000 is does change slightly though ...
 
Apparently it puts out around 140kW and is currently the fastest 1600 hot hatch available.

The GTi's will still beat it, but they're all 2L engines.

I love opel, I'm on my 2nd GSi corsa now, but I wouldn't pay that price. Considering you get an A3 2.0T for R260k
 
The problems with this car like all the OPCs is they very highly tuned, even after market the gains wont be so good, unless you spend a considerable amount of money on it. That 1.6 can only stand so much abuse and will die out very soon.

The price is also very steep. But the overall package is good, very sporty all the bells and whistles and quite quick.

I wouldnt buy it.
 
Of course you wouldn't JK8.. it doesn't have a VW sticker on it.

You say ALL OPC's are highly tuned ? I have a few friends with Astra OPC's and just a chip gave them serious gains ( just like the GTi). Like you, im not an opel fan so i dont know much about the Corsa OPC, but the Astra OPC apparantly has a K04 turbo, but thats besides the point. My point is, a chip will make the Corsa OPC much faster and quicker.

Lol aftermarket is not only chips... Sport chips can make any car faster...

@ Toxic, it doesnt have a German flag behind it.:p
Its a cool car, exactly what the market wants. Its target market is the Minis, unfortunately it lacks the class to compete with Mini.

In the last Car magazine test it came out second against the Clio and Seat. If the Seat looked a little better and had a more modern interior, the OPC would have come last.
 
I'm amazed no one took me on that fact that's it's only marginally slower than a GTI ;)

Since I've been here, I've heard a few absurd things from forumite like chipped 335i taking a 996TT Porsche and a Velociti taking an RSI :P
