nope hes just faster than you. Astra GSi has more bhp, and a turbo, why did u expect to beat him, not that you should be racing anyway.

it might not have been a standard astra turbo, it could have been modified!!
if your worried about it ot keeping up with the astra go get a check at renault to be sure!

Yesterday a guy in 2.2 Astra SRi had a go, could have stopped for a cup of tea and a sandwich and still been ahead ;) However I wouldn't expect to outrun an astra turbo after seeing it on top gear, they are quick! 220/240 bhp aren't they? Though with all that power over the front wheels they don't corner well (apparently).

thats the astra vxr, they do 60 in around 6.5 secs.

I think the dude is talking about an astra gsi or something ?
 
Yeah, anyone can go fast in a straight line, but that;s not where it's at - take a Clio on less-than-straight roads = playtime ;)

Astra GSi has just under 200 bhp iirc, tad heavier but as i said i cant see you coming close in a straight line anyway.

as said, might be close on the track but on normal roads he should beat you no problem
 
dont forget thats from a rolling start (not 0-60)..

might be slower 0-60 than the clio on paper (if its 7,.7 like you say)., but say from 30-90 it would be faster as its got a turbo..

Was it a new shape astra or an old shape one, they both have the same eninge 197bhp but the new one weighs a bit more

In theory it should be pretty even with the older shape and you should just have the edge on the newer shape

I thought there was 2 Astra Turbo's in the latest body, one a 170 bhp model the other a 240 bhp model???

If you come across an Astra VXR, dont even bother trying to race one of those! :evil:

Yup, the A-roads are good enough as you say Andy, you had a country blast recently?

600 mile blast. Byres Rd out to Loch Lomond. Up to Fort William, across to Dalwhinnie. Dunkeld, Blairgowrie, Dundee (overnight stop). Next morning I "followed" my mate's 305BHP scoobie up to Blairgowrie, Glenshee, Braemar, The Lecht and eventually Granton on Spey. Then after the scoobie got a puncture, due to being shoved off the road by an Audi TT, it was up to Inverness. From Inverness a blast straight down the A9 to Perth and finally to Glasgow. Oh, and was propositioned by a hooker for good measure in Saturday night when partaking in the consumption of a few jars.

Sorry to 'jack the thread. :eek:

how would a 182 have the edge on the GSi? it has 15bhp more, more torque, and yes it is heavier but not enough to loose that much performance.

I assume by the new shape your talking about the one before the current sports astra hatch.
