First VXR Astra Nurburgring Edition arrives at Ballyrobert Mallusk
Permalink  

Yes today the first "Great White" as people are calling them arrived today in my work!

Had a quick look round it... and my verdict is... Waow! The new owner had a quick look and drive too before it goes to get its PDI and full Valet!

Real real animal!

Apparently these cars are a good bit quicker than a standard VXR due to the exhaust?

Seems that the Standard unit is quite restrictive! Get that Milltek on asap Mrs VXR!

only difference is the ring has a remus fitted to it standard but it does not have the pre cat or sports cat which would have given the ring the upperhand..

I'm a bit confused about this car power wise, people keep telling me this car sits at 270BHP which is 12.5% increase from the standard VXR but yet every time I try to find any proof of this I keep getting specs at 240BHP the same as the standard VXR even vauxhall sell it as a 240bhp, I've only came across one site that says that with the Remus Sports Exhaust it gets a 15bhp (6.25%) increase and to me even that just sounds a bit far fetched with out a remap.

My conclusion of this car is that it just the same or just better than a VXR with its light weight alloys and slightly better gas flow from what I have read!

Glenn I totally understand that but what I am saying is that it can't be giving out 15BHP just for sticking on an exhaust!! There is just no way. I would love to see one on a rolling road.
