Default Vauxcrap vectra

P-reg. (english car)

It just flew away from me at 120 mph yesterday night. Had standard wheels but after market exhaust.
was on my arse from 90 till 110, i went out the way and wham

first go I showed him off, because I was in 4th gear, lol, 2nd go he was prepared lol, and whooped me arse.

What's in them ?? Must have been about 200bhp I guess.
Was on E313 in Belgium

could've been anything in there. courtenay can do pretty much anything and a lot of owners like to keep it subtle looking to do what he did to you

was probably running a turbo motor, or v6

Joris - that sounds like the standard Irmscher exhaust that the V6 comes with.

Yeah that sounds like either the SRi or the faster GSi.

The GSi is suprisingly rapid!

My old man used to have a 2.5 V6 SRi. Not a bad car at all. Used to see 145 speedo no probs
