It was probably the new VXR Vectra.....I believe they are on a par with the M3 and RS4....on Top gear a few episodes ago and they are sh*t quick!
Its great when you get put in your place though isn't it.
It humbles you.
Especially when its a Vauxhall!
Sadly, you picked the wrong car to try and shake!
Dave_W said:The 2000 X plate, goes really well 60+ as somebody said before, they crack about 100 in 3rd. Decent piece of kit, well up to silly speeds.
It was my Dad's, so did try the off the lights, kill him 0-60, but catch them on a rolling start and its anybodies race!
R8TDL said:Oh, sorry...
New VXR =
- 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds (hatch) 6.7 seconds (estate)
- Top speed: 161mph (hatch) 158mph (estate)

The new Vectra was given a very good review byevo magazine though, even against an STi/wrx/whatever impreza and I think an Evo 9!
pbirkett said:Judged by my drive of the GSI, the driving dynamics would have to be massively improved in the VXR version to stand a chance against focused rally machines like the Scooby and Evo.
