most nova's will be quicker than a 1.4.. some run up to 600bhp :o

i do generally double-d clutch if im shifting down, no need when going up thou

GL about 10-12l / 100km. Could be less if you had lighter pedal foot.. :D About GLT I'm not aware yet how much it consumes fuel... 98 octane costs something like 1.1 to 1.2 euros per litre so it's expensive.. 95 is a little cheaper but turbos like real fuel. :D And over 75% of that price are taxes... Crazy.

BTW: Which Novas are you talking about? Chevy or that Vauxhall thingie which is same as Opel Corsa in here I think.. There's a BIG diffrence. ;)

nova = opel corsa (old style)

some people have spent silly money getting 600+ bhp into them. very quick, but very unstable :)
