True, thats proper lame. But seeing as VXR's only come in a few colours anyway.... See thats what I mean, they could at least give some different paint options or something.

And VXR's doesn't get a titanium exhaust does it??

ChazSXi's ex-misses I think. Unless I'm going mad. Which is more than likely.

Doubtfull.
The VXR'R/S is getting more power, some fancy suspension, diffs etc..

but i've not seen much mention of the vitally important thing to make a track/road car.. Weight...

If they made this version with carbon backed lightweight seats, titanium exhausts, lightweight Burg alloys, no rear interior, cage option etc... Then i'd be more excited...

hopefully Vauxhall will realise this for their super hot hatch version.

Megan runs in at 1220kg with the same 227bhp.
VXR runs in at 1400kg with 237bhp, up to 300 on top Thorney model.

Thats like 2-3 people weight loss from the car.

Blood red doesn't look orange when it's dirty or in pictures. It's a gorgeous colour.

its a gimmic but whatever floats your boat i guess, they need car sales and this is exactly what they need to do it. I dunno why but the prices seem expensive? is it good vaule for money vs the normal route of buying a vxr and ticking aload of options?

Looking forward to the special edition.
