btw can the ST do 60mph in second gear?



I couldn't say for certain, but I have had it a bit over 50 before. If no one else gives an answer, I'll let you know later.

I do know 100% that it can go at over 30mph in first though, and it sounds amazing!!



the does 64mph in 2nd gear

I've got 130mph out of my corsa 1.8SRi on the M6 toll, not bad considering the corsa only has 125PS compared to the ST's 150



I have had 130mph on the flat with the ST, and 140mph downhill and she would not go any faster. That was a speedo reading so it was prob a little less.

I'm pretty sure the ST would piss on the SRi (pardon my french)

got 135 so far.. in germany. Wouldnt chance going over 100 now, too many coppers on the M3!

My 1.2 corsa would do 120!Speedo has got to be wrong!!

Had a run in with a SRI last week, the ST def had something on it but it was close mind! Maybe just my driving!

My cars nearly done 10000 miles now and it certainly feels more bedded in!
Anyone noticed how hills are a doddle?!!

Oh yes!! Coming home from work there's a crawler lane for about half a mile going uphill, and I LOVE the way that I can just dive into that outside lane coming off the roundabout at the bottom of that hill and just fly up getting past most things!!

To be honest i'm not really bothered with top end speed, i did get 105 mph at prodrive on the straight, but never really tried out on the Road.

What i do like though is the pulling power, especially uphill as in the post above, it's pretty awesome really, i just love the acceleration 2nd & 3rd Gears i get pushed back into the seat.

Fiesta ST.... best purchase i've ever made, i get bored with cars very easily, 9 Months on & i'm still loving the ST, no intention of trading in for a long time yet.

The 1.8 corsa can do only 55mph in 2nd and with a 0 - 60 time of 8secs compared to the ST's 7.9, therefore the corsa is a faster car than the ST as the only reason the ST is quickish to 60 is the fact that it can do 60 in 2nd gear!

makes bugger all sense that mate.

so to 60 the st is faster, due to 2nd gear being longer so to speak. but what happens in 3rd gear? surely the st is faster again due to already being faster. and so on.

vauxhalls aint my flavour and i can proudly say ive never drove one. take her to the pod and race against sum st's to proove whats faster

I don't agree with the SRI being faster than the ST.The ST has a 25 BHP advantage over the Corsa and has a far superior chassis than the Vauxhall.The power to wieght ratio is all important i'm sure it is better than the SRI

I'll just clarify my point. Obviously the more gear changes required to get to 60 will result in a slower time. Therefore the corsa's time of 8secs is very fast compared to the ST which has one less gear change, just imagine if the corsa could do 60 in second? It would piss all over the ST!

Performance wise yes the ST is quicker but your vauxhall will be light years behind when it comes to a corner or two.The ST is'nt much slower than a porsche Boxter 2.7 and a Focus RS around a track (fifth gear) so i think the SRI would be about in the range of a Sport KA or a Citreon C2 lap time

I can't help it if the corsa's a faster car! i'd take you frustration out on vauxhall if i were you!

1.8 Corsa SRI -

0-60 9.11
0-100 27.91
1/4 mile 17.59

Fiesta ST

0-60 8.42
0-100 24.52
1/4 mile 16.58

I know they are a little out but it just disproves your point that gear changes dont really matter.

I'd love to challenge you on the pod with my 1.8 focus... I guarantee you i'd beat u and its bog standard and about 1/3 heavier!!!

What makes you think the corsa is the faster car ??? Just read the stats in any motor mag to get the facts or read the reviews on the corsa they say it is one dog of a car
