Yeah 192bhp, 0-60 in 6.8 i think. It really is tempting. But then i could get a second hand Astra VXR for the money!
Dunno how much i'd put it up for if i was to tbh.

Nah, forget the Astra VXR man, you wanna Corsa VXR. Be more rare I reckon so not only worth more. Also 192bhp isn't quite as powerful as the Astra engine but without a doubt tunable to at least 300bhp which is a hell of alot for such a small car.
If I had a the money, that's exactly what I'd do.
I wanna test drive a Corsa VXR but doubt they'd let me

Jay - what colour was the one you went in? Was it Arden Blue with mahoosive VXR stickers on the side? If so, I saw that in town Friday night.
I fell in love with them at Triple Eight for the official UK launch - that was just looks, let alone how it drove.

I think 300bhp is a long way off for the Corsa yet, the Astra has only just started cracking 300bhp and it's 2 years old and has an extra 400cc...

Whether it achieves 300bhp or not, it'll be quicker power to weight I should imagine. Might loose out on torque though?!
I'm no good with this technical hoo-haa

Stage 3 = about 310bhp, all the other tuners (Courtenay, Regal, Thorney) are offering a very similar package with the same figure.

Whats it got to do with Clarkson?
He has NO taste in cars, period.
Nah Steve, I reckon it'd be better in the Corsa coz its lighter.

And the Astra VXR doesn't have too much torque. The car he tested was pre-production, but they insisted on it being on the track for him to test. Or so I heard
