Opel Tigra Tuning was 10.5 seconds, one second slower than the
Corsa GSi. However, a higher
top speed of 203 km/h (126 mph) compensated for its acceleration troubles. This
speed increase was obtained thanks to the higher gear ratios, a lower drag coefficient of 0.31, and standard 15" wheels on the more powerful
model.
