Astra Turbo Coupe...

[Louise]

Anyone raced one?? I raced one again today, and flat out from about 80-110 it wasnt pulling away from me... Similar thing happened with the one I raced a yr or so ago.. Thought being a turbo etc they should be quicker??

 

[PaulRobo]

never raced one, but imagined them to be really quick. What was you in?

Yep, I have had a play with one of these 50 -110 mph not much in it........b

Paul.. Was in the Williams. SJD172, he was prob tryin then? As he wasnt gettin away, and doubt Id have been able to pass. My Williams is 163bhp @ fly.

ill have to keep my eye out for one, are the 2.2 or 2.0?

 

[Louise]

2.0 turbo I think... They do a 2.2 but its n/a

Your right there, the Astra coupe is a nasty looking car that took me by surprise, it was only as traffic slowed us down that I saw the Turbo badge !

you will kill it on the bends thou
