Yes but think of what the RS500 was designed for, and why there were only 500 produced, and the fact that it was a supercar slayer in its day (and still is with the right tweaks). An Astra with a sticker just isn't...
I agree to a point that no one thought along those lines then, but times change, it's just how tuning and all other aspects have moved on, what we know now that we didn't then.
