Thread: New Holden Astra VXR

  1. #1

    Default New Holden Astra VXR

    This thing looks a bit of alright…
    Holden Astra VXR first drive review

    Brembo’s as standard, 206kw (and 400nm!), under 40k…

    It looks a bit pedestrian, 2 door only, and no mention of an LSD…
    But good to see there’s some options if you feel your MPS is getting a bit long in the tooth
    Thoughts?

    Don't mind it...
    Thought I saw somewhere it makes peak torque from 2400-5000rpm, which is awesome!

    Basically the Opel Astra OPC. It has nice interior, LSD standard and brembos.

    Stock standard- CAMS NSW Supersprint Championship

    Add a few mods it would go alright

    Sydney motor show....when Opel still in operation for that one year before they pack their bags.... but also very occasionally see one on the road
    When in doubt, power out....of control.

    They're cheap because they're Astras Obviously a far sight better than past models, but Astras have racked up a pretty bad name over the years.
