Its a mk2 astra with a mk2 astra engine, but from then on it all gets a bit drag spec.
Absolutely awesome car, not a lot in common with road cars, but still impressive.
In the states the quickest vauxhalls (well chevvy over there) are running SIX seconds up the quarter from FWD which is faster than the fastest 4wd drag cars in the world!
