Who cares how quick a nova chav turbo is.
You can spent 10's of thousands on the engine and it will still be crap.
remember you can not polish a t**d.
No standard nova will beat a mk1 gti, when you start uprating the engines, it should be Nova turbo against a mk1 1.8t.
My money is on the golf.

as much as I dislike the poxy little nova it would have wiped the floor with you with out trying had the onwer been bothered and again if it was a real turbo.
Another thing, all vauxhalls through out the ages right to modern day have ALWAYS been quicker than the equivelent Golf - sorry. Doesn't mean their any good though.
Its an age old thing trying to prove your 112bhp still cuts it against a newer hot hatch. :dontknow: still not as good as the claim I once heard that a standard MK1 Golf GTI was quicker than a subaru impreza
Its pub talk and should stay there

RS turbos could only ever get near my Lhasa GTI when i was up to 3rd and the turbo on the RS was well in, they are pants when not on turbo, the little golf is still punching well above its weight even by todays standards.
I can waste quite a few of these so called super minis even in my "hefty" sportline.
I think it comes down to the simplistic design, even though its as aero dynamic as a house brick :roll: at least it has no catalyst, and its raw, without electronic gizmos and ecu`s controlling its power output and fueling, as long as you got fuel and air going in, its off and away, simple as that
I dont care if my cabs slow anyway its not about speed in that car for me, it looks cool, it goes well enough, its reliable, and comfortable and its a mk1 golf, its all that you need 8)

Certainly do, it's called slip-streaming
I no longer have the Mk1!! I now whizz round in a Black 1990 3dr Mk2 GTi 8v but the roof doesn't fold back when the sun shines

I had a 100bhp Nova, it was easily as quick as my 112bhp Golf.
With 200bhp (and a little more weight than the GSi I had) a Nova with a C20LET would devestate a Golf GTI unless it was a 220bhp or more in a straight line.
Round the corners though, the Golf would leave it, but Novas aren't exactly rubbish handling wise.
I prefer my Golf, but the Nova wasn't as bad as people assume they are, it was as good as any other late 80s / early 90s car (and never broke down, not once)

Love that vid, had it for years, 411hp 16vt beating a 497hp supra and 911 Turbo, always wanted to build one so I will. Cant wait to pit it against the Italian big boys next year as it'll be a daily driver :twisted:

Street racing is pointless, its more like a game of dare to see who can exceed the speed limit by the biggest amount, which is silly really. Assuming its a derestricted road and a set of traffic lights, or something (60mph limit) it would only be 5.3 secs before I had reached the limit anyway...
