They're not as quick as Astras. To be fair it was wet so he may not have been getting the power down well, and he was hitting the limiter between changes. Sounded awesome though

He was trying, a few times.

6.9 to 60 according to the stats on here. Mines 7.6ish according to the book. Like I say, may have been traction.

Yeah in mine Mark

I think so, although I'm sure I heard a turbo...

Had Jap three spoke black wheels with a red rim so I assume it was an import. Little reg plate as well...

they are indeed shite, i was considering buying one, the 2.0 modle is poor, and the v6 modle is unreliable and also poor.

im happy with vaux for the time being.
