Starlet__SR Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 were i work everyone is vauxhall lovers and what a load of boring crap they are, they sound boring and they look boring as there are so many of the bloody things around, all i hear about all day is how great vauxhalls are and how shit glanzas or what they call MICRAs i swear if i have one more comment from them i will torch the shitty thing. i drove a astra vxr as my dad was going to buy one ad i wasn't impressed, you would expect it to go well for 240bhp but it didn't so he got a civic type r as that felt quicker. the astra is way to smooth i dont know what everyone else says but when you drive a turbo you expect it to give you a kick when it hits boost.The civic type r's are terrible, slow, boring, handle terrible, and you have to thrash the arse off them just to get it moving, with the vxr, they are fast if driven right, as for being smooth, your dad must drive like an old woman, the vxr is an animalDamien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 uh no he doesn't, i personally drove the vxr hard and i don't drive slow and it didn't feel fast, the only animal i would compare a vxr to is a hamster, there overrated jumped up chav mobiles, i didn't say the vxr's are slower that the civics but the civic seams quicker as the vxr is way to refined Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curtis Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 whatever i can't be bothered to argue, i put my point of view across and i don't go on a starlet owners club to talk bout vauxhalls Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blair Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 OH DEARhow this seems to have gone all pear-shaped!! well to sum previous comments...I wasn't a daddy's boi, i got mine myself, albeit on finance...the corsa to me was soooooo fast...think about going from 100bhp to 190bhp with like nearly triple the torque, mibi more...and to put an end to the sound of it...the best sound is clearly a milltek catback system with a stage 3 remapand did no1 check out the webpage?? - http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/tuning/Corsa_VXR-R.shtmlrant over for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Ive just got back from the local ASDA and had some cock in an Astra VXR trying to race me Stuck on my rear bumper for a good 3/4 mile, I just pootled along at 50mph to piss him off and then we hit a set of traffic lights where the road goes into 2 lanes onto a dual carrigeway, lights were on red He pulls up in the outside lane and his passenger shouts out the window "nice replica" and then he proceeds to rev to let it dump. Mmmmm.....think I'll have to give him a go. Built mine up to 5.5k, lights went to green, side stepped the clutch (its about had it anyway!!). When he eventually caught me up at the next lights he was not a happy bunny!!!4WD against torque steer city, can only be one outcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'd rather have the money a VXR is worth and spend it on a Starlet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRaZyKiD Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 This is qiuet an interesting topic..Im diggin the VXR gettin blown off...I do like the look of SOME Astra VXR's i think its the colour to be honest... The Vectra is pretty smart lookin' too!CK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
molovin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I do like the look or the corsa VXR but then again im really liking the look of the new clio ultra sport. But both fail to the glanzz preformance. on the track the glanza seems to pull away from the corsa in the corners! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

molovin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 deffo even on some of the high speed corners the glanza has the edge. im not 100% but do the corsa's suffer from alot of lag? i raced a mini cooper s and a corsa vxr the mini was a waste of time and the corsa dint fair much better!

molovin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 get some good rubber on the glanza loose some w8 and shes a goodun. well put it this way my glanza kept up with a nissan silva 300bhp in a straight line well upto 60mph lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4efte_ryan Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 my brothers mate who is 18 had a arctic white corsa i thought it was nice, pretty fast, quite comfortable and nice looks, but it couldnt out run the glanza at snetterton ;) shame the bloke was a propper daddys boy and has written it off now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DamienI agree with the bad image bit. To me personally without being biased, the car itself doesn't do it for me, having been a passenger in one, mine feels quicker to 60 deffo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
