No, Its still a vauxhall

Just race him somewhere with corners if you are unsure

Sort of conversation you'd expect to hear in a McDonalds car park.

Edit : with the drive at the wrong end

astra has no chance on the twisty bits. but can probably cruise down in chav city with booming "choonz", under car lighting and a halfrauds strap on back 'box better than you.

Oi, behave, i have an indy R1 and an astra VXR. Astra has none of the above chav mods but i can tell you with a stage 2 remap and exhaust, RARB and DAP springs you would be surprised how quick they are. 290bhp. And i'm 39.

I thought the Vauxhall VXR Nurburgring was AWD, am I wrong?

Your car is less Practical which means its better, because it says your a man who doesn't make compromises, or some thing equally macho.

Do you really care to be honest?

richardR1 - 8/2/10 at 10:00 PM

No the Nurburgring is FWD same as regular VXR. Apart from colour,trim and wheels the only mechanical difference is a full Remus exhaust which gives around 18bhp over standard

honestly... whos faster than who is all just work place/ forum banter funny how the vxr gets labeled with the chav thing i really like it it even drives nice

You could always get together and do a trackday, have fun and see who is fastest where. The Indy will be faster up to 100 ish but then the VXR will be stronger with much better aerodynamics.

It's a bit irrelevant, it will only be a little while before he tanks the VXR showing off to his mates
