Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
Hey guys , since I no longer have the 1.4t i decided to make a new thread and upcoming mods i have in mind for her
So i traded the 63 Plate 1.4T 140 for a 65 Plate Limited Edition 1.6T 200 fully loaded.
My previous one was an ex-demo car and this one was also an ex-demo car with only 3k miles
Extras - Bi-Xenons with AFL , Full heated leather seats (bottom & back :P), Navi 650 (new model (dual band one) w/ bluetooth audio streaming) and intellink technology, 20`inch wheels, Parking sensors, VXR styling pack , Lighting Pack , and the best the Onstar technology (Wifi (kids love it lol ),gps tracking,and various data like fuel levels, tyre pressure,miles on clock,lock/unlock doors remotely anywhere in the world all done on your smartphone via the My Vauxhall app)
Current mods: Just Heko wind deflectors & VXR pedals at the moment. Remap will be next but gains/prices not worth it right now. Also looking at the front splitter too.

Its like day & night compared to the 1.4t 140 mate! Its was the main reason why i traded the 1.4t was the power (or lack of it), and by that i mean it needed to be "ragged" to get to speed but it hold to its own
Now like you said the gtc is a heavy car ,but i was really surprised by its power it does pull like a train lol no need to change gears to speed up/overtake just pedal to the floor.
I think its basically the Corsa VXR engine?

I think it is indeed the Corsa VXR engine, not sure on the latest bhp output from the Corsa VXR (202bhp rings a bell?), I have an older Corsa with 189bhp
