5.4s to 60?

Ill be honest if i had an extra 20k around and i needed a 5th car, id buy this!

Evo seemed to rate them aswell!

 

[AK]

What's their RRP?

They do look mean as fook.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

£22,495 apparently mate, they were very very limited i recall.

They also done an Astra VXR R which from memory was even quicker again!

 

[Knuckles]

What's the name of the company that made these? Didn't they make astra VXR-R's and VXR-S's... Race and sport iirc, the R being the more aggressive (for lack of a better word) car

These cars are made to order by Thorney Motorsport, basically they get a normal vxr and beef it up quite a bit

 

[Knuckles]

Thanks, couldn't remember the name, I was looking at these when they first came out not to buy though ha

 

[Fletcher]

I'd rather have a mint R26.R TBH.

 

[jenic]

I'd avoid it if its to do with thorney...

I havent clicked the link but if its that thread where the bloke got his car back with the wiring loom uncovered under the bonnet - the LOLS

Thorney = Gashment as bad as regal

Bet it goes like stink, but it looks like a black Corsa... with aftermarket wheels.

I could think of literally 50 things I'd rather spend £20K on TBH

So much better a car for the money

 

[Joe#]

^Agree 20k is a lot of money

I've never liked that shape (or any shape) corsa tbh

If I had £20K spare for a new car an exige would be right up there...

 

[Fred@BTM]

where is that ruined M3 thread?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Not a bad spec but drove one at Silverstone (stock) and hated it. Not a touch on the 200 IMO

I see where your coming from but 230bhp from a 1600cc...

Every 'tuning' company has their flaws

I agree 230bhp from a 1.6 is impressive!

Was on the lancer forum, but appears to have been removed

 

[CuppyDean]

Thats nothing, theres a guy on vxronline with his corsa producing 400bhp, still with the 1.6 lump to!! now thats impressive, lots of modified ones out here aswell which are running 300bhp+

 

[Jordi17]

Looks awesome, bet it goes well! the astra vxr-r is 340bhp IIRC.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Rather have this and spend the rest on a cheap car for during the week.

Whut? Not nearly the same though is it?

 

[Hixle]

M3?

As quick as they are, I just can't like them.

I'd rather have both my arms chewed off.

but would settle on an R26.R

LOL! Yeah, good luck getting your shopping in there.

 

[JJ!]

Rather the new Corsa Nurburgring - handling is meant to be superb (autocar have it as better handling that the Clio - but less fun). Just got one in at the misses work - looks nice!

 

[Christopher]

Nah.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Nah.

I know you're not the biggest fan, but from what i hear they arent the worst hot-hatches around.

 

[AK]

Nah.

Prefer a flan?

wait until you see the 2013 figures in F1 then :approve:

Didn't realise these cars were made. Not a bad spec, but it's a corsa :dead: r26.r and change please.

 

[Gally]

M3 money.

 

[is1]

I wouldn't pay £10K for that.

Awful.

Had a 24 hour test drive in one. Took it back after three hours... one of them being parked on my drive.

True story.

 

[Blue Mez]

dog ugly, proper rip off, would rather buy an Arctic and tune it!

Hmm, im on the fence with how they drive as ive never been in one but as per their looks - im onboard.
