Opel sucks, really! And 303HP on that tiny little car is just crazy! Why not using the money and buyning another car, maybe one that is not mainly driven by housewifes?
Oh man, i really dont get it. Of all cars... a Corsa!

Correction, Opel doesn't suck. We have one here, and until now, we didn't have one problem with it (Opel Zafira). And the main reason for him using a Corsa, was that he had it falling apart, and it is an actual funny project to make. Come on, 3 of the strongest cars in HP in Portugal are small cars (Civic aka Boo!, Corsa Turbo and 205 Turbo).
And where is the Corsa driven by housewifes? Around here, the number of male Corsa drivers surpasses the female drivers. And oh, if Opel sucks, why 90% of driving schools here use Opel cars?
And Opel has the currect record for the fastest Minivan and fastest hothatch :P

Ok, the newest opel cars are better, but the Corsa you talked about is the worst. I've never before driven a car that is so uncool! The engine is crap, weak, not revving, the cassis is unsafe and soft (believe me, i have seen SOME wrecked Corsas, sometimes only stripes of metal left), the quality of the whole car is just poor. The only good thing you might possibly find is the low price and the low fuel consumption. (Good for driving schools?)
Well, I dont want to offend anybody who is drinving an Opel, but choosing it to make it a race car doesnt make sense to me. There are far better cars as a platform.

The guy isn't that dumb. He actually made a rollcage and reinforced the chassis from the car. And he knows the risks he's taking with such car :P

Thanks for that highly technical review of Opel.
One question, What is wrong with driving housewives?
