To be fair I think I caught him with his pants down, I was pootling round Bredbury roundabout which is a slippy, neg camber affair with loads of bumps etc, proper notorious! Anyway I was in 2nd sat on boost and I floored it out of nowhere, by the time he had realised what was happening I had took the corner as fast as the car would allow (about 75ish) and I had pulled about 15 car lengths which he never made back so I didnt really get a vibe how fast it was, then we were in traffic etc so I started acting like an adult again! . Lovely looking, rare car tho!!!

Nice work Still enjoying the P1?

I know what you mean about rare, ive only ever seen 2! They were both the non VXR examples. One of them had an aftermarket exhaust and sounded like a SEAC TVR I naturally followed it windows down at low revs to try and hear the thing


Think its more of a cruiser than a balls out fast car, must be a hoot to drive being RWD and all

6.0 is the later one, with the nostrils, and is 400 brake.

If it was from the US it would be a Pontiac not a Holden.

They're actually very roomy, loads bigger than the Astra even though its still a coupe, there's even headroom and legroom in the back.
