On paper no, but it's totally different, cav was more of a drop a cog and let it rip the Vxr you just floor it regardless of what gear your on and it just goes so much torque! For a big bus it does move surprisingly well I really expected it to be a lot less fun than it actually is!

It is a lot of money but I think it's worth it lol also the insurance is really cheap compared to what I'm used to paying so it kinda makes up for it haha

I'm the 3rd owner it's been in Norwich all it's life untill now obviously, fsh and 48k on the clock
After doing some research before hand iv red up about the dreaded timing chains so first up ill probably replace them, followed by some dap r springs, wheels, rear boot strip and diffuser in black, wind deflectors, light tints, aero wipers and decat it  all in good time
keep an eye on the paintwork , I have seen loads of red Vauxhalls that seem to go matt finish after a few years , not sure if still happening but even not so old Combo's change from shining red to a matt pink .
but anyway great looking motor
