Last Friday night me and my friends went to a street drag. I was passing by the parking lot and was going to turn around. There was a red light so i stop and this guy pulled next to me. It was a corsica. my car was loaded with 5 people in the back. so i let him go pass me. I was just looking forward to race me. I drop of my freinds at one to the parking lot. The guy saw me so he followed me. well we stop at the red light but this time it was green. We didn't care we stop anyways. The guy and his partner pulled down his window and so did i. He said do you wanna run , I said yeah bring it on. His partners said we go on three. His was a manual. I hold my rpm to 3000 .his partners count to 3 and we took off. I was leading by far about 2-3 cars length. on third was was pulling very fast. I turn on my hazard light on to show him my victories. I was running on a full gas tank too. He thought he could take me. Man i sure did make him feel like crab. Well thanks for reading. Catch up all on my next victories.

I'm not 100% sure but it sound and move like one. you know when people not are not good at shifting and it hurts their car. that's how it seem to me. so i suggest it a manual. I could be wrong

Actually, coming from a former (and still kinda currently) a Beretta nut...those Coriscas hold thier own.

Hard to say what year it was, but it was either 3.1L or 2.8L V6. Corsy 5 speeds are pretty rare, I dont think Ive ever seen one in person. Dont tell other Beretta guys this, but a Corsica will beat a Beretta, given the same drivetrain. The Corsy is actualy a bit lighter.

Nice kill. Im assuming your not stock anymore. Truthfully, if yours is 100% stock and his is 100% stock, I dont know why you beat him, unless hes a bad driver.

nope

I have enition wire, jwt pop intake, greddy exhust and a custom 3inch piping. I actually have a 89 SE. My car have everything just like the SE. for example the rear disc brake, white gagues, the steer wheel and wheels. all my assocerories are the same as an SE. I guess the dealer mistaken it for an gxe.

Having driven a 3.1 Corsica or two, one thing I have learned about those cars is that they will hiccup around 105 because of the governor. Other than that, they are not too bad for a commuter car.

it sound great and so is the performance. the reving is agressive. your idle will pick up and down very fast. because of the pipe the top end is great. but if you taking about daily driving it kinda suck. to big for daily driving. you have full throttle so the whole pipe filled up with air.

JEFF!!! I love berettas. I had a 88 gt. I was in line to get a 94 Z26, you know, the most powerful year they came out with the V6, and I found my 92 Max SE the day before I was to purchase the Z26

I really like those cars though. Glad to see a fellow beretta man on here!
