Corsa VXR facepalm

350z is also pushing out more power, and can get sideways properly unlike the Corsa

May have already been asked, but are you the chick who won the lottery and dreamed of owning a Corsa?

/crosses fingers it is.

The very same. I even bought myself a pink shellsuit.

Once again, are you speaking from experience?

This is rypt's dreamworld where we all drive sideways whilst waving our bum out the window at old people.

Each one of those cars is about 10x better than a Corsa VXR.

The fact that it is "new" has no bearing on whether it is worth the money or not.

it does really... not everyone wants someone elses thrashed vehicle just out of manufacturer warranty do they?

sure SOME PEOPLE people might do and will have the funds necessary to run it AND put up with the hassles that usually go with

but why spend 14k on a scubaru when you could buy a 300zx for a 1/3 of the price? or what about a R32 skyline GTR?... when you factor old japanese performance cars into the price/performance equation you end up around the 5k mark and often over the 300bhp mark...

so where does that leave a 2nd hand CTR? hell where does that leave a new CTR? where does that leave even a 182?!

Wow great what a huge benefit. The one thing I love about my car is the ability to get properly sideways.

I need first hand experience to know that an FR car can drift and that the 350 is pushing out more power???

The best CTR is still the EK9, everything we'd got in the UK since then has been a bit naff compared to the JDM ones.
The issue with R32s and 300zx is that they look dated inside and out now, the Scoob or Evo would not though.

Life with a RWD car is not one long drift followed by another.

The Running Man · 26 Mar 2010 at 15:54

should have bought an AE86 if u want tight JDM drift, would have only cost you 4k.

Rypt obviously owns a BMW 1 series. He is clearly a moron.

There are two ways to have fun on a hoon ... some tail action or ultimate speed
For that you need FR or AWD and a good road

The Running Man · 26 Mar 2010 at 15:58

not really.. the rush is the drive, and usually comes from acceleration.

FR, 4WD wouldnt really help with' ultimate' speed... i dont understand... infact take the same engine, dump it into a FWD compared to a RWD or 4x4 chassis and the FWD will ultimately provide a higher top speed due to less drive loss...

As an driver of a FR vehicle, how regularly do you get the arse end out?

VXR_Girl · 26 Mar 2010 at 15:59

This thread is all a load of willy (where applicable) waving really. But I like bandwagons.

Yes, but the Scoob and Evo are pushing out far more power than the VXR, and coupled with AWD should improve the ability to put power down while cornering and also over dodgy surfaces.

[TW]Fox · 26 Mar 2010 at 16:01

rpyt why buy any of that Jap crap when the same money gets you a Ferrari Mondial?
