    i think its all about getting the 150bhp to the tarmac.
    if you can get it to grip then they are fast enough, standard xe in nova or corsa will light the wheels up really easy as most of you no.

    lsd in standard or mild tuned xe

    the head wasnt litterally turned round!!!!! they changed the valve sizes etc and put in different cams so that the std inlet side became the exhaust and vice versa. Kinda easy in theory but if it was that "easy" then why arent they all like it .
