They look best in red imo
we have two black ones in but the black hides the lines
they all have blue calipers tho as its the colour choice at opc
so they look abit pants on a red one!
I do belive the ecu restricts power for the first 1k to run it in better
I didnt think they were that fast and thats maybe why?

its a shame the VXR isnt 4WD, it might be able to keep up with the new R32 then

they do 0-60 in 6.2 and your Corsa would be more like 7 I'd imagine. Plus the VXR driver would still be running it in too? Thats if your still meant to run engines in these days?

id also like to point out whoever designed the r32 may have been gifted mechanically but he is most certainly blind as its the most hideous thing ive ever seen from volkswagon

Think I read that the ECU on the VXR automatically restricts power when running it in to stop any damage. This might have been the case.
