i am sure the astra is 7.0 seconds to 60 where as the civic is 6.8 iirc, considering the astra is turbocharged i am shocked it is so slouchy.

am i right in thinking a vxr turbo will bolt stright on and give a noticeable increase in power...
sorry for all the questions , i have never been a fan of vauxhalls so never looked into specs or mods etc and she has asked me what is possible and cheap to get a increase in power. also, i am guessing the astra does not have an lsd
