I must admit I do like the look of the VXR, I own a Astra 1.9 CDTi 150 XP as my daily runner and it's a fine steed. However I have on occasion come up against an Astra VXR whist out in my MY07 STi that has been breathed on by AndyF and it destroyed the VXR.

I would think a standard Astra VXR would beat a Standard WRX from a rolling start but not an STi.

 

im no dreamer






and it will do more than 165MPH

 

vauxhall vs scooby's track day i reckon !!!!!

 

thats the most sensible comment , either put up or shut up

 

have to give mad hammer a shout!

 

Bring it on at next years 30-130 day

TX.

 

Vaux boys will get there asses handed to them good and proper !!

 

you could be in for a shock How much I love my scoob(s) there are quicker cars out there

Tony

 

^^ Well they all stayed away in 2010

TX.

 

Remember that all those powerful cars at the scooby shootout with 600+bhp didnt win the handling course, that was a near standard MY05 JDM car with no suspension mods

Use to remember all those nova's with calibre turbo engines under the bonnet (or even the 2ltr engines), they scared more than enough subaru's

There was always the lotus carlton, ah what a car

Tony

 

Funny you should say that,there is a lad running ONLY 280bhp in a corsa down our way & im sure alot of other cars with bigger power have been suprised what it can do.

 

Power to weight is the key ... I've got a metro gti with a 160 bhp 1.8vvc engine in and it troubles a hell of alot of subarus and evos but higher up the mph it loses it's edges .... Still prefer my blob eye thow

 

Each to their own and all but unless the op either couldnt drive or the vxr was seriously played with I would of thought the type r should of whiped it.

 

my dad drives a beemer, its an old kunts car, your point is?

 

i cant believe this thread is still goin haha. i think the terminal speed i ended up with was 112mph mate. tbh i think my old standard one felt quicker than my current modded one.

 

it's just a shame tht wen i ran tht time i was racing a tuned cbr900rr tht was runnin 10's n absolutely pumped me. hahaha

 

You what????


Speak english man!

 

how much plainer do you want it? lol. i ran a 13 but got beat by a cbr900rr. dunno wat else to say. learn how to read english man lol

 

If your terminal was 112mph then you should have been runnimg low 12's.
100-105 is more like it for a scooby doing 13s qtr miles

 

you're probably right mate. i had the car 4 years ago wen i ran it. lol. can only really remember the time i definitely wasn't running 12's. hahaha

 

Type R's run 13.3@104mph in standard form, spec c's run 13 dead @108mph, so to run 112mph terminal the car would need to have been a little modified

Tony

 

cheers man seems like an awful exact time to be stuck in my head, but it's probably wrong after 4 years in my crap memory haha

 

btw marx. just looked at your yellow r very nice. little question for you, how are the cusco coilovers? i'm looking at buying o2r's

 

All this tosh about vectra vxr's being quicker than a sti once rolling
Don't get me wrong they are nice comfy motorway cars i have even considered one for my commute but in no way can they compete with a mildy fettled sti once rolling. Who is the chap whos stating that once mapped they are monsters
Heres one little clip i found

So you understand that a remapped 335D will have like 100bhp more than the vectra vxr dont you?

Tony

 

335d with over 400bhp?
Look at the quarter times also.

 

The 335's are very tunable 400bhp, not a problem time is quicker than most subaru's can do it, damp surface at the pod, would knock a second off, but 13.7@105mph, faster than a type r terminal speed
Find one in the dry, probably find a good second off that time.

Tony

 

Yes but the bmw is heavier than an sti plus rear wheel drive in the wet and it demolishes the remapped vxr..

 

Clarkson on the VXR 'there is only one way to describe this car ... begins in s and ends in t .... and it isn't soot' '....This has got to be the worst chassis I have ever come across...'

Lol at the under steer.
