106's are they damn speedy or is it just me?

BHP/Tonne allowing you to reach a higher terminal velocity.

Bhp/ton doesn't affect top speed

 

[Oracle]

As opposed to Rover's patented Dynamic Mass Re-alignment (DMR), whereby at high speeds bits of the interior fall off and end up in the back seats, thus increasing rear grip in high speed corners.

Carp....forgot about that...............and I paid extra for it!

106 1.1 = 0-60 13.6s 60bhp
Corsa 1.2 = 0-60 16s 73bhp

There is your answer.... the corsa is utter tosh.

Although he might eventully overtake you as the corsas top speed is 106mph and the Pug is 99mph.

I said that in Post 3

Now we have even more evidence

The 0-60 time on the Corsa 1.2 16v is 12.0 dead for the Manual and 13.0 Dead for the easytronic.

(although there is one model that says 16.0 which is the 1.0 litres 0-60 time not the 1.2's).

TBH unless the driver of the corsa was asleep there is no chance that the op could have been that far ahead even on a 3 miles stretch. Especially not with 3 passengers.


EDIT: Unless of course its the old 1.2 8v with (according to parkers) 44 bhp. That takes 17.4s to get to 60

Actually stop arguing, official stats are:

0-60:

Peugeot 1.1 XN: Eventually
Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 EasySuperTronic Whatsittrolley: Glacial

0-100:

Peugeot 1.1 XN: N/A
Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 EasySuperTronic Whatsittrolley: N/A

Your assumption is bassed on the fact thet these cars are unmodified and devoid of such enhancements like fury dice, max power stickers, ecoteck valves, big bore exhaust etc It is possible that the 106 had some LED washer jets which is easliy the equivalent of 100bhp shot of *** every time they are switched on.

 

[DanTheMan]

Haha, this thread deserves some stars just because of Fox's 0-60 times and the OP's crater that he's stuck himself in .

 

[Zip]

haha well ull never know

haha, seriosly i ahve rich friends

Does Gav1234 have another account

His corsa might just be knackered.

 

[Firestar_3x]

His corsa might just be knackered.

What do you mean MIGHT

 

[Zip]

His corsa might just be knackered.

Corsas come knacked as standard

 

[William]

What do you mean MIGHT

More knackered than standard.

 

[sinister_stu]

Did you manage to reach the top speed of the car within the 3 miles? I reckon you should have done, 60 would have been reached in around 200-400m, leaving you with about 4000m to carry on accelerating.

[merlin]

ive had the 106 up to 110...

KPH?

 

[agw_01]

LMAO

I had my first Rover 214 upto 125 on the clock... doesn't mean it was actually doing it Although I didn't tell my passenger how inaccurate it was

 

[William]

ive had the 106 up to 110...

You'll find that the dial tends to overread by about 5%. So you were probably doing about 100-5.
