underestimate the Rover at their peril I would say.

Ignore em, the majority have neither owned nor driven one so really can't comment! :wink:

Yes mate, it sounds about right to me.
But they are the people that aren't laughing so much, when they can only just see the back end of your car, 'cos you've left them at the lights.

There's some proper A-holes out there. But the people that know anything about cars tend to praise the Coupe Turbo for being a bit of a beast.

So, let 'em laugh ... you have a T16 Turbo coupe so in most cases you will have the last laugh ... and the biggest smile on your chops... good eh.

Remember, he who laughs last larfs and larfs alot and longest .... forgotten how that saying goes now .... guess I'm becoming a doddery old Rover driver.... the old memory aint what it was...

What was the question again ??? ... :lol:

The real beauty of the coupe is that it is deceptively fast..... rarely appears to be obviously fast with lots of revs, boost blowing noisily off on changes and noisy exhaust .... just fast. Like a thoroughbred racehorse - doesn't appear to be racing but simply paralises the opposition....

chav

On the upside, a Corsa is a nasty little biscuit tin, and putting 200bhp from a C20LET into one is going to result in three things.

1. Wheelspin
2. Chassis cracks
3. A rapid motor
