Small hatchbacks really got heavy after ca. 2006. They were like 950-1050kg before, and suddenly the weight goes through the roof.

Actually they should have just turned up the boost a little and things would be different.

I get your point, but this car looks fast, looks like competition for the Ford Focus, or Honda Civic, but its very slow which will dissapoint 90% of us, as were guys and the meaning of FastestLaps to us is Speedola, so you have to learn to accept a little critisim,we all do.

Cheers from an owner of a black Corsa OPC ;)

Well my corsa vxr is running 245bhp with 270 ft lb, far quicker than the astra, focus, gold etc etc but also out handles the lot aswell. Has the perfect blend of grunt and cornering ability.
Im more than sure it would be seeing a sub 8.30 lap

I care about it. The difference is huge. Sport auto magazazine tested the corsa opc with a 8.54min on nordschleife this is a huge difference.

But driven by prodriver manuel reuter it is worth as much as the porsche laptimes on the nordschleife driven by walter röhrl. I think you cannot compare those drivers with regular drivers from automagazines.
