pfffft turbos... pah. get an N/A on the track, any half decent setup would be faster than a nova turbo ;)

anyway they would only do something gay like get a heavily body kitted one to race against a radical or something silly like that

be interesting to see how much it understeers through the hammer head.

A C20LET at full chat thru the 'followthrough' would sound awesome.

Yes it was. Total pile of ****e. Fully loaded with stereo and that, doing a hill climb.

WOuld be good to see a nova out there though. I work at the site, about 50 metres from the start line... Although we can go on the airfield to head out (as some is used as a perimeter road) we can't get onto the part top gear use, but its all good for watching. That Prodrive thing last week was awsome!

yeh thats right fella, but when they blew it up you could tell anything worth something had been taken off, it was a 2litre turbo it was featured in revs aswell.

ive been meaning to write in for ages lmao, take the corsa round the track. Also i would love to have a chat to him about global warming as he is on the same wavelength as me.

Also that nova your refering to was a c20xe on twin carbs. Wasnt a turbo.
