Mr Cali...I will SO agree with you on the VX220 - weighs only 875kgs!
A agree with the above comment but at the end of they day I think performance wise they are similar - $$$ wise they are very affordable - appearance they are very different (now at least) - feature wise, similar to an extent - and I think they do compare well based on lower $$$. They both offer great bang for buck.Quote:

i wouldnt worry about doing up the ZC.... i would just import an OPC Vectra..
No performance mods needed...and they look SIK :shock:
The Beep Beep Barina FM Superfreak can nevah lose! :mrgreen:
The calibra engine C20LET is much stronger then the Z20LET. Manhle forged pistons, forged rods ect, basically it can handle a boost upgrade without killing the internals like the Z20let engine. Looks wise i reckon the astra T looks awsome, kicks ass over the cali which looks like something out of the jetsons cartoons :P jk's (hides from cali owners).
But if you really want performance (stock) then the VX220 is the pick! :mrgreen:
Nah the Astra SRi esspecially the BLUE ones :wink:
Give me an Opel Lotus Carlton over any of the other Opels.
Rear Wheel Drive with 281KW and 568NM to play with. :twisted:
Corsa
Opel Speedster Turbo :twisted:
2L Turbo and approx 875kg in weight!
So the VX220 seems to be a bit of a fav....................but its not exactly practical. But fast yes......................Top Gear (i think it was) did a review on it and said it was pretty sick (to have a fang in). They also loved the Monaro too. TG saying it was one of the easiest powerful cars to drive. I have the video on my drive but only dial up connection so :(
Agree. Given the 3.2 does 0-100 in 7.3 & the OPC TT does it in mid 6s - to what extent would you need to go (modification wise) do you think to make up the rough second difference? Somone on the new engine topic mentioned: "cam and intake and remap and exhaust would get you HUGE gains as they are all restrictive". Do you reckon that would pull in a whole giant second?Quote:
