Hey everyone

Found these forums and thought it would be a good idea to sign up and become part of the Opel community. I currently do not drive an Opel as I am waiting for the Astra OPC to come out next year, so at present, Im driving around in my Mitsubishi Magna 3.5L V6 which I have modified in some ways to make it more fun to drive.

I live south west side near Sunnybank Hills and look forward to seeing the OPC in the flesh (or metal??) soon. Also still waiting on specs to be released as to how it will be sold here, as Australia always tends to get cut down versions or under specced versions of cars coming from anywhere... good example the Lancer Ralliart..

Anyway, hope to meet some people at some of the events / meets in the near future, if people don't mind me turning up in my Magna.

Cheers and looking forward to seeing some nice cars and meet some good people

Regards
Thorsten

Welcome to the forum mate.

The OPC will arrive here the same as it is elsewhere. 206kw and 400nm with the 20" rims and lighting package the only options.

Welcome! You've picked a mad future car. Hope it comes in earlier rather than later!

Thanks. Yeah, I can't wait to see it in the flesh and give it a test drive. Really looking forward to it. Im waiting for some decent reviews to be written in australian magazines, but they most likely won't happen until Jan / Feb next year. I've read heaps of reviews of the VXR which I believe is the OPC in the UK, but still, you never know what they change for the Australian market. We always get the crappy stuff here :)

VXR and opc are the same. Just trims may vary depending on options. Driveline is the same.
