all i have to say is wow !
Have been driving it a bit harder this week and taking it up to 5k revs now and again. The noise from the engine is fantastic and the acceleration is something else.
Thought the LET Corsa was good but this is so much better. Dont get me wrong its probably not faster but its just a lot more solid and puts the power down fantastically. So far have only taken out a Merc SL55 AMG 
Will take some nice pics over the weekend.
Have only done 350miles but its been fantastic so far

i think u just moved on from fwd high power cars ............
i have the van, very fast and fun with lots of wheels spin!
get in the vx220, very little wheel spin and just loads of grip gives u different kind of fun!
power is made so much more useful by rear wheel drive!
