You might do them off the lights but not for long they'vr got a lot more power than your nova. But saying that my mate used to race them in his 1.3 metro GTA and win at times, all depends really, just avoid dual carriage ways

1.3 can keep up with them in a drag race, but if you wanna beat them good you need a 1.4i with all the usual mods!!!:D

LOL, Only GSi's well me, Dicko and Ste give em a good thrashing. Ask lancy about on the way to sandbach Services and they were XR2i's. I've got an SRi, Dicko is a 1.6SR and Ste has a 1.2 *ahem*.

yep 1.4 SR with few mods. xr2's, xr2i's and xr3s are all fair game.

could be fun trying anyways,I need to find a hot hatch I can waste easily to impress peeps into thinking its more than a 1.2

That wont happen unless you mod yours a bit, why not try a 1.3 cam, new gearbox and performance clutch, then get some twin 40's...then you will be upto 1.4SRI speed roughly...maybe more depending on what you do.

Was behind a Nova 1.4SR and a XR2 at some lights the other day on a dual carriage way. Both were revving like mad and went off like bats outta hell. Nova was battering it all over for a while then XR2 got in front... then there was a great big bang and a plume of dark grey smoke came outta the back of the poor ickle XR2 and they slowed right down and took the first exit they could find... Poor babies... Should get a propper car. At least one thats made by vauxhall if they don't want a nova. B-)

my 1.4sr used to keep up with xr2s up to an indicated 130 then they ease away but only after 3miles from a standing start

also clifty talking out his arse again, you do not need a performance clutch, waste of money.

People with XR2`s like crammin loads of passengers in, so when you see one with 4 or 5 people in it, then have a go bob. If you still cant out drag em, you`ll be able to out handle the saggy arse ford! (appologies for using that word.)

I used to want an XR2 for ages,till my mate got his antibes,he was well happy beating a"fiesta XR2i modded to fap"-which actually was a 1.4,5door old laydee mobile,which he only pulled away from cos it was a 30 n he was doing 70-made me larf,but I fell in love with his nova,thats why I got one,although I have done a bit more than adding a gearknob n gaitor...

xr2 standard have around 90bhp so think carefully if racing them in anything less than 85bhp in a nova

carbed xr2's = 96 bhp
injected xr2i's = 110 bhp
They're apparently quite quick to 60 according to me books (aint got 'em handy tho) but I dunno.. I think they're all fucked now :D
