0-110 kmh Corsa C SRi

[pred8r]

Driving along today with my phone jammed in the steeringwheel (easier to see gps telemetry data), I thought of a video to make.
I figured not many people will have seen it before, interesting for some, ho-hum for others.

Its just a short sprint from a standing start. The extra induction noise you hear is the de-restricted airbox, the other noises; no idea.
Sorry about the movement but steering comes first.

All you see is speedo and tach, but anyway.......

Here it is. http://s56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/pred8r/?action=view&current=CorsaSRimp4.flv

lol by my count it took u about 12 sec to reach 100

He can't have been hammering it, my 1.4 does 0-100 in about 10 to 10.5 secs.

[EL BURITO]

that will just be pred8rs driving C SRI can do 0-100 in 7.somthing sec according to Vaux website

[mr_sikma]

that extra 10kmh takes a bit in our lil 1.4s tho!

[Turblue]

You have got to be kidding.....

Are you saying that the SRi Corsa is a s fast as an SRiT to 100kmh..???

[MatsHolden]

Yeh nah they do 0-100 times in the 8's.

[Gildo]

umm well sorry...........motor got 9.1 seconds - 100 and wheels got 9.9 seconds.
once u get used to the car you can push it to high 8's depending on the start. but running 7's......hrmmmm would be a bargain of a car then

[btm]

the corsa SRi is marginly quicker than the astra SRi, correct?

[MatsHolden]

Hmm interesting, I remember Wheels or Motor recorded a 10.4 for the 1.4L, and they recorded a 9.1 and 9.9 for the SRi? 9.1 sounds reasonable but 9.9 i'd be dissapointed with.

[oneightoo]

the corsa SRi is marginly quicker than the astra SRi, correct?
i think so.. tho when i had mine, i never lost to one :D:D:D:D

[mr_sikma]

10.4 hay for the 1.4

what kws are they making and what weight?

66kws @ fly???

[Gildo]

yes barina sri are faster than astra sri, my mate has 1 (same driving ability) and have raced him a couple of times, and have just beet him. but there really isnt that much in it

[EL BURITO]

added to that the 1.4 Corsa can beat the 1.8 Astra power to weight again

[GreyRex]

Haha, i reckon it might come down to my previous thread... the Traction Control lol. As i said, i reckon it makes it a miniscule slower. Dont honestly know, just my opinion... just know i wish mine was faster. Damn club lock, spare wheel and sub!!

As someone else said, I reckon it averages out between 8 and 9 seconds

[pred8r]

Ive found it to be between 9 and 10 secs, with all the variables thrown in.

EDIT: after various questions to the time taken, i reviewed my vid (same as but not the posted one, different format). The speedo begins to move at the 3 to 4 second change and passes the 100kmh marker at the 12 to 13 second change (both are not in between, almost at the exact change).
I know my speedo is out (according to my GPS) by about 7kms so seeing the speedo is at 108 at about the 13-14 second change (this is harder to see).

Conclusions;
13sec-4sec=9sec (according to the dash)
14sec(ish)-4 sec=10sec(or just under, according to what my GPS would be reading)

If you have an unmodded Corsa C SRi 1.8, on 42,000km old factory tyres, on a 10-15degree evening, running Vortex fuel and a de-trumpeted airbox about the best youll get is a low 9sec 0-100kmh time.

If only we didnt have that 3rd gear change:(

[mr corsa]

You have got to be kidding.....

:p no comment

[pred8r]

Ive NEVER read anywhere that a factory one was into the 8second bracket.
Lowest I've read was a 9.1sec

You may get one into the 8s with a remap to raise the revlimiter, but youd have to hit 100 without that 3rd gear change to make it a real possibility.

[EL BURITO]

:p no comment
o thats a good one MR C

[Turblue]

:p no comment

I think I hurt my back laughing......

[MatsHolden]

yeh that 3rd change is a bitch.

Just wondering why does the needle on your speedo stay at zero when the cars started accelerating and then all of a sudden jump?

[NUTTTR]

I've beaten SRI C's in my SRi G.... My G does 0-100 in under 9. More like 8.3 or so. I know i can JUST hit 100 in second. But it's onto (and into) the red line. This is not on a flat surface, just a slight slope, it's all it needs. If i have to change to third, it pulls fast :)

[pred8r]

I revved it first before starting, theres a 'slight' lag/overrun then I started to slip the clutch in at about 2500rpm, so it would minimise wheelspin and the chance of setting the T/C off.

[MatsHolden]

Ahh I get ya.

[PaulyJ]

9.3 is the time you got judging by my precise counting skills and that vid...

[pred8r]

I would have been more accurate except the frames and times dont quite sync up, theres a 3-4 frame overlap (dipending on direction) in relation to time and at 25fps im not counting them.

Either way, fits in with factory tests.
New tyres (at a lower pressure) and fresh fuel would make that difference up Id assume.

Im wondering what differences going to 17"s would make, anyone (Gildo/dug?)?

[MatsHolden]

If it's the same rolling diameter, shouldn't affect it, but the extra weight of the rims will, assuming you don't get ultralight magnesium wheels or similar.

[Shaun]

There is only one Barina SRi that comes to mind thats quicker then A SRi T. and that belongs to Mr Corsa. Some how i dont think a deristriction of an air box is going to make that much different in times.

[GreyRex]

I seriously dont know how much difference 17's make to the overall acceleration. Ive gone from stock 16's to 17's, and i don't think i can see any difference. Would the fact ive got good tyres counter-act the fact that ive got heavier wheels lol? Who knows. Tell me people... maximum acceleration for the SRi... whats the best rpm? (Controlled conditions of course). 2000 - 2500rpm? Im curious:cool:

[Gildo]

well it works in 2 ways, ive had 15" 16" and 17".....basically yes the 17" are heavier but they are also an inch wider thus being u can drop the clutch that extra bit harder. 15 inch rims are grate with no clutch drop...but they spin like crazy if u do, 16" are inbetween but still spin.
17" i find are the best for a heavy launch but yes put alot of extra stress on the car.....
i just came from 15" to 17" and there was a difference in the low down power if pulling off normally, the 17's are harder to get going. but with a clutch drop 17"'s would be the same if not slightly better as the extra grip.
theres really nothing in it. just have to drive to the rims i guess.

[PaulyJ]

I'm thinking between 3000-3500 launch to be honest.

[MatsHolden]

But don't drop the clutch, because you'll just chew rubber.

[Gildo]

you have to engage it slowly but once your slightly moving drop it.

[mr corsa]

traction control is your friend

[MatsHolden]

traction control is your friend

Yes, if you have it.:)

[GreyRex]

Over 3000rpm = too much wheel spin

Haha... sounds good, looks good, but you go no where initially, and the hole in your pocker deepens quicker when it comes to replacing zem puppies.

Yesterday i thought i'd do sumthing different (call me crazy). I put my 16's back on, took the sub out... and the spare wheel. Noticeable difference... funny that.

I don't reckon the stock Dunlop 16's are THAT bad. At least there's no drone from them when driving, unlike my G3's on my 17's. Ride's more comfortable on 16's too. Hmm, don't know what im going to do with my 17's now.

Anyway, thats an update on my ride, back to the topic at hand:cool:

[Gildo]

how much do you want for them :)

[GreyRex]

Dunno... why? You interested? Have a look at the Vic cruise thread from about a month ago, you'll see me there... a black SRi. Honestly not sure what im doing, only did it yesterday. The idea of 16's and stock SRi suspension, while adding a rear swaybar is sounding very promising.

[Clint]

i tried for a bit of fun on the way to work to try recording it, its really wobbly and not showing the tacho, i thought id give it a try and was rushing to get the camera out and start recording, so i didntsee where i was pointing it and was only holding it in my hand.. i reckon i did good, i beat a nissan sr20 off the line, but then just before the speed limit at 80 i slowed to the speed limit and his turbo kicked and he took off

later ill get the phone jammed into the steering wheel and do another. i got the phone stuck good this morning but didnt realise i didnt press stop after recording so the memory was full.

ill try for a better one later and upload it

[pred8r]

don't know what im going to do with my 17's now.

This them? I may be interested

Yeh that's them, I took that photo! lol

I like, I interested

What are they called? do they scrub/rub? what size/make tyre are they?
I looks like you are not lowered (it does sit nice though)

I was talking about them with Ben (Mizled) at the Melbourne cruise and they're 17x7.5 I believe, not lowered and no rubbing. Didn't like the look of them much in photos but once you see them in the flesh it's a different story. If my memory serves me correctly he got them from Italy.

[GreyRex]

Yeah, they're from Italy. They look fantastic... that picture doesn't really do them justice. It does look high when its parked, but as with most cars, it drops when driving. They have never rubbed either, even with three guys in it. I honestly think i'll be keeping them:cool:
