For reasons you can't explain. Just because they're Corsas.

And you're still seemingly completely missing the point of the thread.

Good work.
If you say so. I fully understand i said ages ago, these threads should be for proper factory built q cars, not chavs and theres corsa's.

Corsa's r st, plain and simple.
You're a bit of an ahole aren't you?

You have a type S civic - a slow diesel car with a type R wannabe bodykit - I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you that I think YOUR car is st.

More than anything though, I think you should really stop being such a snob! If you don't like the car, shut the fk up and move on - he isn't bothering you with it, so why be such a tt?

That's your opinion. That doesn't make it fact.

Who's a chav btw? Who are you accusing? I'd guess you, based on your retarded spelling, but is it the owner of the Corsa above, who you've never met, and know nothing about?
So everyone who can't spell is a chav? I could have Dyslexia, that would make me a chav? What a moron. Don't really give a st, unlike you, stop crying and fk off if you don't like me.

I can appreciate the work that has gone into the Corsa - but IMO it's not really stealthy.

Stealthy cars are to me at least supposed to go unnoticed, look bland, ordinary, but go like stink. Even a non-petrolhead will notice the Morettes and the 'stance' of the Corsa - it lacks subtlety.

Mercedes-Benz E500 T, preferably in beige.

4.7-litre, twin-turbo V8 putting out 408 HP, capable of 0-60 in about 4.6-4.8 seconds.
408hp now eek

I saw a 2012 E500 estate yesterday, as above but in black (no window tinting, which makes a good change in the UK). Big thumbs up to the folks buying these cars new - I'll be grateful in the used car market in a few years' time. thumbup

Indeed. Theres are the point i forgot to mention, that it doesn't look stealthy at all. You can probably see a huge intercooler at the front, and big wheels/tyres, and the stance. If i saw that id know somet was up.

Now take ya face for a st doogz.

Glad i amuse you. When i get it mapped it's gonna be rapid innit.

So ive not got a point then? Don't think including modified cars let alone engine swapped cars is right for these Q car threads, as it's pretty obvious.

Also you love following me around don't ya?
Just in case you wasn't aware, a Q car is something that is considerably faster than what it appears to be. If I looked at that Corsa, I wouldn't expect it to move like st off a shovel.

Secondly, your attitude is awful. I suggest you grow up.

Lastly, I don't see how you have the right to criticise another persons car when you're driving what you do.

I had a Rover 620 Ti which was pretty stealthy. 200bhp and it looked like a proper grandad mobile. Surprised a lot of cars with that.

The Rover 800's were good cars. Was it the 820ti the police used to use?

They handled like st as standard! hehe bloody fast though. They probably had 827s as well, the Honda V6 that Tony Pond smashed the IoM TT course in.

I'd still love an 800 Coupe with the turbo lump, but they are not known for their robust qualities...

We should really compile a list of these Q-ships.

- Passat W8.
- Mercedes E500.
- Rover 75 V8.
- Rover 600/800 turbo.
- pre-facelift E39 540i on crap alloys.
- standard Volvo 850 T5 estate, not the bodykitted T5-R model.
- Mazda 3/6 MPS.
- Volvo S60R.
- Audi A3 3.2 Quattro.
- Subaru Legacy Spec B.
- Mercedes 450SEL 6.9.
- Lancia Thema 8.32.
- Saab 9-5 Aero.


That's the ball rolling...

Wikipedia's definition, surprisingly on the money! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeper_(car)

Another stealth hot hatch, along with the previously mentioned Mazda 3 MPS, is the Audi A3 3.2 Quattro. More power than the Mk4 R32, but didn't shout about it too much

Well to me it was a hot hatch in disguise, and therefore a valid Q-car. How many people would expect one to have 250hp?
