Hi all, anyone seen these around, theres not a lot of them yet. My mates just got one...Scoobs watch out, cause these things R seriously quick...(Obviously not on the 0-60 like a scoob but after 60 they keep up well...to the point I couldn't pull away and my car ain't exactly standard !) 2.0 litre 16valve with a big turbo and imerscher (think thats spelt right) body kit !

Its a standard astra coupe turbo, 190ps. But it does have a team 888 developed chassis and bodykit. All are in the same blue, with a colour coded interior, complete with sports seats. Oh and bloody big tyres, I can't remember the exact profile, but hey are 17-inch diameter, with a 235 width front and rear.

Seen one tonight i think in Rochdale, blue with a mad spoiler, looked pretty good but honestly thought it was one of the new Skoda's until i noticed it was a 2 door, liked the moulded wheel arches. Didnt think it pulled away as quick as my Uk94 but looked the business. Top motor

Not supposed to be that good according to one of the Vauxhall Drivers from BTCC last year (allegedly) - won't say who as I think he'd be a bit upset with me. Just a more freeflowing exhaust giving a bit more umppphh, with the usual mods (bigger wheels, bit more plastic etc)
Definately not worth the extra money apparently. Me - I can't comment, haven't been in one.

Evo Magazine didn't rate it at all last month! I think the new Hyundai Coupe V6 came out a better car .
