Cheers, it can do indeed, however seems to be a new breed of hot hatch on the market with big power! Sometimes forget the base of the car is almost 10 years old! As you say, traction is the biggest problem, but my traffic light grand prix days are long gone
Big thanks to Russ for these!
345mm Vectra VXR brake setup!
Quite a chunk bigger than standard 328's and a different braking design should certainly make the car stop much better
The difference for the OP would probably be a softer sidewall if your struggling with lateral load, but the acceleration and deceleration of the car is still good.
In regards to the post above, Same with nankangs, the most common descriptive word of the brand is ditchfinder
More painting and fixing leaky gaskets
Ok so a few things to do, breather and water pipes what change to blue JS performance hoses, stainless steel rocker cover bolts, head tank and tx oil cap with Vxr logo. Then a couple of plaques on the fuse boxes.

Nothing of any great mechanical greatness
Its white which you couldn't get a standard Astra VXR in
Full remus exhaust with 100 cell sports cat
Wider front track
ATS lightweight alloys with stickier tyres from factory
Few interior touches, carbon trim and Nurburgring emblems embossed into...
Right chaps, any opinions on colours in the bay? The rocker cover, fuse boxes all need 're spraying! I have a carbon battery cover which may be changed for a bag and some with have to buy liquid wrap for the power pipes or get them powder coated!
Opinions welcomed
