faster top speed than an m3 tho 
Top ends not everything though, infact ive never even been close to top end in mine!!
Apparently M3 will do 170odd with the limiter removed!
i can vouch for the fact that an m3 can reach 170mph on the speedo.
VXR vectra are cool looking cars, i just dislike the interiors and build quality, although they are supposed to respong very very well to a remap!

100bhp more through midrange, peak of 25ish bhp more and over 100lb/ft more from a remap costing about 560 quid if figures are to be believed. mate has just ordered one for his. dealer fitted, warranty approved.
build quality i actually thought was very good? and the seats are awesome. but people have different tastes.
a car id more than consider buying in a fwe years time.

True but well my tax reminder has just hit the carpet demanding £215 for 12 months, I can think of better things to spend that money on tbh I can imagine id be on a downer if it was a demand for 440 or whatever!!

It is. But like i say, if you include that as a direct cost of the car, and budget for it, it still works out cheaper to buy the vec than something else of similar performance for the money
