Well driving a corsa gsi near the sea might alter tidal patterns it has that much mass. The nova is much lighter an i would say the nova would win all the time. How ever after owning both a 2lt nova an corsa 2lt with the same set up suspension wise the corsa wins everytime on the handling front imo.

i had a little race with a corsa gsi which had some mods and i beat it in a straight line in my sri he did have an extra head in his car. when it comes to the twisties i obliterated him but i did no the road/have no fear
nova is lighter as stanred so faster handling i dunno but modded it anyones game

nice one people so stick to novas i take it
Corsa is a stronger, better built car.
corsa gsi v. nova gsi in a straight line is very very close. around the bends, again is very close.
2.0 nova spanks a 2.0 corsa in a straight line!
With sorted suspension, i'd put money on the corsa out handling a nova round twisties.

Chassis are similar, suspension is indentical so it all boils down to power and weight really. Corsa GSi is a little heavier than the nova GSi, but also 10 or so bhp more. so would probly be even. With identical engines the nova would have the advantage (proven by the fact XE corsa struggle to keep up with XE novas.
From an aesthetic point of view, the novas look mean with the box arches and clean lines, where as the corsa looks like a girly bubble.

cut one of each in half and then glue them together! Get the best of both worlds!
It all depends on the driver............................................ .......
