A forum that uses recognisable english and punctuation. Sounds great to me.

VXR vs an M3?! Rofl.. This quote especially:

SLIGHTLY? .. VXR's are quick for a hothatch, but comparing it to a 300BHP M3? Please tell me they're joking.

KILL ME, KILL ME NOW

God, why did you show me this forum!

Reading it is like watching an episode of the Office, horribly cringeworthy but highly addictive... Make it stop, please!

Deano_P1

Hahahahaa!

What a joke....this cracked me up a treat...

"only vehicle that has really pi55ed all over me was a 911 turbo. that car is FAST!!"

I think these people think VXR's are the fastest cars on the road!.....i mean this guy thinks only a 911 turbo would hammer him???...hmmm i think not!

i like how they openly admit to speeding and have sigs showing there no. plates and locations - very clever?

Astra VXR with a remap and a couple of bits is going to be circa 300Bhp. Low transmission losses is going to make it scooby fast in a straight line....

VXRBOY

Mine is

Deano_P1

They are supposed to be pants around corners tho aint they, as the front wheels have to cope with 240bhp plus take charge of the steering

VXRBOY

Not as bad as made out, tricky in the wet though.

Deano_P1

Jeremy Clarkson rekons they are hopeless around corners but he hates all Vauxhalls anyway

evogt

I hate the bloody things. Anything can be made to go fast in a staright line but they dont handle at all. That forum sucks to LOL.

This quote says it all really

"he caught me up and came up my bottom again"

Probein

Clarkson recommended buying a Focus ST instead.. Said the VXR had way too much power for a front wheel drive car.. which meant horrendous torque steer in straight lines.

I highly doubt a 300BHP VXR would actually be faster off the line than an STI or WRX PPP, or even a WRX for that matter.. 4WD > FWD, even with less power.

marmski

mid-range would be interesting though... although i like the agressive looks i wouldnt like to own one.

Focus ST/RS & Golf GTi/R32 > VXR imo.

Mind you reading that forum - you never get anyone bigging up their car on this forum about how they beat Porsche/Ferrari/Koneinfginsinfaisnsnsegg/Lamborghini/Zonda in their standard, unmodified UK car on bare tyres.

Of course it would be raining and it would be the twisties (tm)

I have forwarded it to the police!

Mr Twirly

Do you think that is clever?

I have forwarded THEM your IP address.

One is on remand from Hull Prison for armed robbery and he will find you and blow your kneecaps off

LordOfTheRings

It will be nice to try and see them get into my security ridden canary riverside penthouse!
