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. |

TX. 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 :D 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.

To get a 13 dead out of a standard type R, you would have had to have been very abusive to it, what was the terminal speed you ended up with? :)
Tony:) |

Speak english man! :mad: |
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:p 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:D |
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:p 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 :lol1:
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 :lol1: Heres one little clip i found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i0FIyuow7E :Suspiciou |
So you understand that a remapped 335D will have like 100bhp more than the vectra vxr dont you?
Tony:) |
335d with over 400bhp? :Suspiciou
Look at the quarter times also. |
The 335's are very tunable ;) 400bhp, not a problem :D 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. |
