Worth asking on VVOC m8.
iirc they are same as a 2.0 16v SRi but with AP 4 pot brakes, white alloys, Recaros and decals? I know the V6 Supertouring and the AP's for sure, just assuming the 2.0 did.

Ah didnt realise there were two engine options in the supertouring;; i remember seeing them on top gear when they were 1st released. Prob best to hold out for the 2.5 then

Yeah there is a V6 one which is pretty rare and a 2.0 16V which isnt as rare.

I think there were a few 3.0 V6 Super Touring, VVOC boys will know for sure.

Well i've driven a GSI Veccy and it wasn't much kop so a 2L 16V must be dog slow.

2 litre and 2.5 litre ST had standard brakes (possibly V6 ones on the 2 litre) but ONLY the ST200 had the ap's
V6 is more saught after than the 2 litre, so prob best avoided TBH

2.0 are alot slower, you will be dissapointed if you buy one and expect blistering performance, i drove one and instead i held out an bout a v6 gsi in the end which arent amazing for a 2.5 either .... 15.9 1/4 mile

thats true, thats why i went jap (200sx S14) after that coz i liked bigger cars but the power also, but then realised they were costly when they went wrong although i had no trouble with it so kept it for a year and bought my corsa

wait for the V6, is a good engine and makes an ace sound! 
2.0 16v is a little pathetic for a car of that size

There not exactly designed for 1/4 mile racing! There a family sized saloon/hatchback with an average amount of power! If your looking for performance and are looking at vectras you re very much in the wrong place!
Saying that i did enjoy my vectra V6 but that had a few ££££ thrown at the engine.

I'd rather have a GSi than a supertouring.
ST200 is the only white vectra to get
