Corsa OPC

Based on?

I'm guessing you'ved diced the two? Perhaps even driven the OPC? Seen the claimed figures? Seen the figures achieved by CAR magazine at the coast? Seen the figures I posted at reef? Or just guessing guessing and hoping as you're a VW fan?

I saw the figures in the Car Magazine, the Brat Pack issue, Clio VS Cupra VS OPC, the test would only affect the Clio, but they were all in the 7 sec bracket, OPC being the slowest but by milliseconds. The GTi 147kw is in the 6 second bracket and if all these people are claiming that the newer Gtis are really pushing 169kw, you cant compare the OPC corsa to the GTi MK5.

But ill let you know if and when I race one.:)
 
Better yet - why not let me test & graph it?

That way we're all on the same road and can't lie regarding certain figures and who pulled who ...
 
saw a blue corsa opc, take on and beat a renault megan rs last night, in a robot to robot (actually 2) dice, in van riebeeck ave in edenvale....

....1
+-140kw vs +-160kw (unsure), but then again a lot also depends on the driver i guess

Theres no way the Corsa will even come close to beating a megane RS.
the RS is very very strong. Unless .... well we all know what happends when you chip a turbocharged car ...

The Megane with black rims? Highly doubt it...
Even with a chip that car wont be running strong being so "new" it hasnt even been run in properly yet....
 
One of the OPCs that my brother and his friends have driven (about 20 ...) have already burnt out the clutch ;) Trust me - they do have enough mileage to be opened up at this stage.

Anyway - regarding the 140kw vs 160kw figures - remember the KW aren't everything. The GTI5 is 140-odd and the Focus ST is 160-odd and the performance is marginal? Throw in correct power rating for engines (RSI is 141kw) and weights (Fiesta ST is only 112kw) and you'll realise KW don't mean *as* much. I'm still willing to bet an OPC will give a GTI/ST a fright. I'm awaiting a PM from someone with a run in GTI/ST to let me test with a Gtech.

Lastly, where did you see a GTI being 6s? My CAR magazine reflects about 7.4 or 7.5 ... there are milliseconds between the OPC and GTI. For those that haven't seen the OPC graph, here it is ...

Went to Opel yesterday to have a look a the Corsa OPC, very nice looking car but for R230,000.00 I dont think it's worth it.

I took it for a test drive and it feels a bit quicker in the first couple of gears than my current car, difficult to say because the salesman told me he is only allowed to give potential buyers a 2.5 km test drive...

At the moment I drive a Moondust Silver Fiesta ST which I bought new last year for R178,000.00 (includes a maintenance plan). I am going to keep it until Ford brings thier new Fiesta ST Turbo out later this year.
 
Should be quite a lot quicker than your current car :/ I can just about stick with a stock Fiesta ST in my RSI ... but obviously don't touch a GTI5 ... and the OPC is more in the GTI league.

Is yours stock?

Lol you having fun with that Gtech toy!!
I still doubt the Corsa can take a GTi5.... havent seen a Corsa in action, but its just my opinion.
Ive been doing a few runs with the Polo, damn this babies stronger than I thought!!!
132kw standard - beaten.
Z4 M - left me on 4th.
Honda Type R - what a joke!!! Finished him!!
White '07 Subaru ST - Whoever you are, you drive like a girl!!
Gti(wanabe R32) - [AM GP] nice run, if it was a straighter road, i would have had him!:p
1.9 Tdi - beaten.
Cooper JCW - gave him chillies lol!!

Ill be looking for a OPC Corsa!:)

what mods you have on your PGTi?
 
The OPC sticks with the GTI ... not beats it.

Anyway - when can Gtech your GTI and get real figures? I don't quite see you beating any of those cars you mention ...

Zero, she hasnt reached 10 000km yet.

what does 10000 km have to do with anything ?

Anyway, most of those cars you so calledly raced, will 'own' you.
Take your car to the race tracks and see what will happen to a standard PGTi. You must really be a fool to think your stock standard GTi is stronger than the ones you mentioned above.

Lol im not lying I promise!
The 132kw
Z4
Cooper JCW
Type R
1.9 TDi

Are all good friends of mine, they can vouch for it already, and they all "racers" aswell... I guess they know so why should I care...

They owned, and they know it!:D
We'll do some runs again this weekend, depending on where we are.
 
My other Gti(which I wont give lots of details about) tears the new 177kw Seat!:)

Well after your comments about handing it to cars much powerful than your stock standard PGTi, i will never believe a word you say until you hit the drag strip and do a 'proper' race.

BTW, my friend had a PGTi and only have he Revo'd and exhaust the car, thats the only time he could beat a GGTi 147kw. before the mods he was nothing special.

Sorry no KO4 turbo ever fitted on PGTi's :p

Nah no Revo and downpipe in the next 2 years on the Polo.
You can believe what you want, I got 6 witnesses:)
147Kw Gti is faster than my Polo.
