Movie: Opel Corsa vs Ferrari. drag race!

[Satan]

nice movie i found in somebodys signature in another forum.

this guy knows how to tune his more than 10 year old Opel Corsa.

watch this movie and u will agree that germans still build the best cars in the world

Firstly, interesting choice of nickname, ryhmes with mine! (its not me)

And to the point, the guy in the ferrari doesn't know how to drive. My guess is that he takes off after the corsa and thats why he is pretty much like 10 meters behind it for the entire race.

And besides, if you had the money, you could mod a classic beetle to win with a ferrari.

ok, the person driving the ferrari obviously is a bad "racer". he doesn`t even make a real burnout to warm up his tyres..... n00b

but i think it`s funny to see a race between a ferrari and car which normally has about 50 hp.

btw:if someone asked u which of the two cars will win the race, what would have been your answer? probably ferrari, wouldn`t it? i don`t think it`s easy to make such a small and slow car that fast. there is not much room for a big motor

If they told me that the corsa was modded then I definately wouldn't give an answer.
The car being small is actually good in some part because it can be feather light.
Nonetheless, it is funny

you can make a corsa better then a ferrari, there was a lot diffirence between the cars.

In a straight line perhaps, but I don't think a modded Corsa could be faster around a racetrack than a F360 or a F430 (and if I remember correctly that video showed a drag race).
You can even make a Vauxhall go from 0-100km/h (0-60mph) in just one second, but I doubt that thing is any good going round corners.
But then we arrive at the ultimate definition of 'better'. For some it's the top speed, for others it's the acceleration, or the laptime around a racetrack, or the overall package. Making a car 'faster' than a Ferrari probably isn't that difficult, but is it any 'better'? Depends on if 'faster'='better' in your opinion, but in the end even with a insanely tuned Corsa you just end up with a Corsa while when you own a Ferrari you end up with a Ferrari, now which one is better to own? A car everybody will think "well it's just another (tuned) Corsa, he/she must be someone who can't afford something better" or a car that makes everybody go "uhh he/she must be quite rich"?

exactly what i'd say.
btw: i prefere a car thats neather very fast (top-speed and acc) nor fast around some corners. for me, the best car is nice to drive and very comfortable (with a decent sound system )
