16vgt 0 Posted July 19, 2003 is it true that a corrado 1.8 16v is faster than a 2.0 16v as there is no cat? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuck 0 Posted July 20, 2003 I haven't driven a 2.0 16v, but have heard that the 1.8 can beat the 2.0 to 60... just. Reason being, the 1.8 is wilder at high revs, tho the 2.0 has more torque. Off the lights the 2.0 will have it, but hit 4000 revs in second and the 1.8 will take it. Thats just my take on it. Both have exactly the same horsepower (bigger bore 2.0 has a restrictive cat), but the 2.0 has more torque tho is heavier. The 1.8 is lighter but really bursts to life at high revs. I would be interested to hear if anyone has pitched the two together on a track.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 20, 2003 Well I am hopefully aiming to get my hands on a 1.8 16v in the next month or so.. having previously owned a 2.0 16v, i'd be glad to share my opinions on it when and if I do finally get another C! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
