Vectra 2.5 V6 Super Tourer ST200? Just wondered if these things are fast or not?
If you have how did you get on?

Had a blat against a V6 from about 50mph upwards. Pretty even, but got to about 80mph and the V6 started to edge away.
That was a standard 2.5 V6 though, fairly new one (old shape though).

That's an absolutely ridiculous speed to be doing on a public road.

My mistake, I just assumed
I've no problem with people racing in a proper controled enviroment but I haveno respect for people racing on public roads.

I walked past one every day on the way to work. I didn't realise it was a special edition, but come to think about it, it must be.
Subtle body styling, but you can tell its fast as f00k. Looks exactly the same as the white one above.
