Yes they were a stop gap between the SRi 2.2 and the GSi turbo
Only 500 made, in gloss red, metallic silver or metallic black - and, in my opinioon, look better than the GSi turbo

prefer the GSi cos they have the recaros and the front bumper and wing spoiler, i just think the SRi rear splitter is nice thats about it

SRi looks alright, but the interior is very dull.

SRI Turbo is booked at 190bhp but its the same engine found in the GSI Astra, VX220 Turbo, Zafira GSI etc
1.8 16v books at 123/125bhp depending on source
2.2 16v books at 145bhp

The software on the GSi is different to the SRi hense a slight difference in power, you can goto Vauxhall and get the SRi ECU updated to the GSi spec though
