Nice
But what a waste of a good engine in a van 
Mind you, it'll weigh less than a 1400kg astra.
But it'll handle like a bag of nails. Its a van.

yea everyone expects it to handle like rubbish..............i am very suprised how well it handles!
i sold corsa c with similar engine cos hated the way it handled, was scary compared to van! van is solid with the power! i was worried the back would be little twitchy but always been fine!
yea vxr is 1400kgs!
van is 300kgs less!!!! so power to weight is far beta! love phase 4, the mad is so smooth...... car does not feel fast but guess it is compared to cars i had a play with
