I'm not a huge fan of red but I think they look well.

Black and silver look standard, which leaves blue which is going to be the most common.

Disagree, I think Red will be the colour of choice on the VXR range.

Even in a V6 Corsa I fail to believe this, and if you did you must have been giving your all to even edge past it.

hmm, and weigh what?

I went out in one the other week, and was impressed but thought it barked and pulled about a lot more than it actually shifted.

Everyone drives different, i had a race with a 250bhp scooby in a straight line, even 4 up he was leaving me in my XE corsa.

I had a blast with a v6 corsa when i had my xe and he pulled about 1 metre in every ten.

I was redlining my XE thru the gears, the scoob driver could have been changing at 4k!

Only way to settle arguments like these is to take em on the strip!

You have 40bhp less than him yet you claim to have beaten him? I think he was toying with you.
