stuff that never happens? like the Monaro you mean if Holden are making all the european engines, including the Turbo V6, its only a matter of time before they drop it into a Holden

I'm thinking of buying a ST vectra (not a ST200!) as a daily driver / semi sensible car (old age is creaping in )
May sell the Corsa, may keep it for fun, will probably sell it
Only mentioning this cos I saw the word "Vectra" in the subject line, please ignore this spam!

Vectra ST and Vectra ST200 are different, 200's are rare and worth lots, ST's are not as rare and can be picked up for a couple of thousand.
*I think*

They made 500 ST V6's and 500 ST 2.0 16v's IIRC.
ST200 is even more limited run of less than 100 I think?
ST200 is the one to get, nice breaks, suspension etc.
ST is just like a white V6 GSi

Vauxhall never made a GSi in white so the ST is unique in that fact 
Plus the ST had different 6 spoke alloys and the Irmscher chip badges, but other than that yeah it's just a rebadged GSi but I'm pretty certain not all ST's are V6's, some are 2L XE's (Ecotech's at that I think) TBH I'm not after speed, I'm just after something that looks decent, is fairly respectable to drive and suits a 30 year old more than a Corsa GSi does!

Right here
500ST V6 16" White Speedlines
500ST 2.0 16v 15" White Vauxhall alloys
ST200 - 37 made (no number 13) All supposed to be in white, but i believe there were 2 red and three black.
Plus one BLUE ESTATE which was special order for a Vauxhall director, which my mate owned
The ST200 got Ap Racing brakes and Konis as standard, as well as lower final drive
All were numbered as well and had carbon detailing.

The first 10 ST200's were slightly lower than the last 27 as they raised the suspension after people kept catching the skirts on the ramps
