Some of the vx....

Thanks mate, no the scoops mean turbo, which are you going for?
Thanks.
Very nice. Nearly bought a N/A one but would be too cold/unconfortable for every day
Your not wrong, i had an N/A several years back and used it as an everyday car for the first year. Was an nightmare in the winter and ended up buying a 2nd car, now only use this one as a toy really as they are just too uncompromising for eveyday use in my opinion.

Pah, lightweights - a VX is fine for everyday - I ran my VX220 NA throughout a UK winter as my only car.
Occassionally have to scrape the inside of the windscreen, but that's par for the course.
Nice turbo - I'd have loved one of those, but a bit more then I'd like to spend on a car, plus high insurance group.

NA fella, the turbos hold their money and I can't wait much longer for one! Becoming Collectable I think, prices are bottoming out now. My family are involved with a couple of vauxhall dealerships so make sense to buy another vx and I don't fancy any of the vxr's. Except a monaro of course!
Yeah N/A's have probably have bottomed out and as you say they probably will become collectable as there has been that many of them binned their becoming rarer and rarer. You could always supercharge the N/A at a later date if you feel the need for more power
Turbos.
Drive an Elise and a VXT back to back and there is a big difference!
The VXT is soft, understeers and the heavy engine makes it 'interesting' when pressing on. All VXs have very safe setups because the target market was different. At a minimum, they need a more aggressive geo set up. Ideally smaller wheels too...

Agree that the vx will out handle most cars out there and the standard setup for road use is perfect. To fine tune the handling for track days some coilovers and 16"/17" combo wheels sort out the handling if it is an issue! I've kept the supspension standard as have not tracked the car, however it has got a full system and remap to get rid of the flatspot they have as standard and also free up some more power
