heavy but damned fast. standard engine with decent exhaust and induction should be 180+bhp.
Heavy = around pinto territory.
Speak to Ned or NSDev - both have them and both know a thing or two about them (NSDev raced one for a number of years)

Sprinted a GTE Astra for several years, the engine was absolutely brilliant, replaced the car with a MR2 (4age), the engine was crap and lasted just
two meetings.
Would recommend the Vauxhall engine everytime. As for value, one in good nick, I would suggest, would be worth in the region of £6 to £7k but less
with a worn clutch.
