Courtenay Sport tune vauxhalls their tuned Astra VXR runs 290bhp, I'm not suprised it beat the STI. But I know which I'd rather have and it ain't red. Of coarse this is all IMO

Damo

PS wonder what power the STI would have for the £2610 cost of their 50bhp extra package????

Thats not a vxr beating a scoob thats an ok driver beating a ****e driver in the scoob. He doesn't set off until after the astra and you can see it lurch as he bogs it down. If the tuned vxr can only manage around 15s then they arent all that are they? Even a standard wrx will do better than that.
