the car above is pretty much how it will be, wheels will be different though and front bumper deeper apparently!! The car above is the OPC astra for europe the VXR is for the UK only and meant to be slightly more aggresive.

Engine will be tuned version of the mk4 gsi, coupe, vx220 turbo, sri Z20LET with 240BHP.

Its meant to be avaible to buy next spring but it could be a little later than that.

That said, whats the likelihood it'll look nothing like that :S

perf figures seem poor, 150mph + 6.8 0-62 (google search)

Can't be right surely?!

I swear to god you are in a time-warp from 1996. I take it you havent heard that the new astra has better handling than the focus, golf etc etc
The fact that a performance version will only enhance this is testiment that it will corner like a god. now GTF
