so basically they have given it a remap, made it 2mm wider and chucked on some new alloys

Add 2k to the price

Not sure why top speed is limited? The remus exhaust sounds cool, standard issue aswell. I wonder if that was a decision made before or after they wanted to get laws on loud exhaust lol.

They haven't remapped it, they've given it an £850 exhaust system, some lighweight wheels and expensive tyres, as well as special seats and painted it a colour which isn't available elsewhere.

Yeah, but add up all the parts, and a respray, and 2k extra works out as a good price.

It also gains the rear spoiler which we get on the VXR, but Europe doesn't get on the OPC.

There are a few changes, but nothing major.

Plus the fact its a limited edition model and not many people will have them compared to the amount of vxr's going about

£20,995 is Vauxhalls RRP but its already been advertised on VXRonline for £17,995 by independent dealers that have ordered the car

it hasn’t had a remap just a full Remus system that is worth 20bhp.

i dont think 832 is a particularly LIMITED number.

I like it

looks lovely

me personally could not afford that new, but soon the 888 astra should be quite resonable, vxr's are going for 15k with minimal millage too
