BlackRocket Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I've been offered a mint Astra Nurburgring edition for a bargain price so i'm considering selling up the Glanza and getting it.I love the V and its never missed a beat and its such a hoot to drive but I fancy something a little more refined than the V now.Anyone else moved from a V to a VXR?Do you regret it or what.I know I like the VXR's as a couple of my friends have them (one is a 320hp VXRacing one) and they are lush but still satisfy my speed fetish.Comments plsSteve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I know what you mean about the wanting something more refined.....If i could afford something as powerful but more refined id jump ship.If you can afford it id go for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'm sorry but there is no way i would ever sell a Glanza for a Vauxhall unless it was a Monaro VXR, I've driven a customers Astra VXR and the interior is crap, they drive... Like an Astra with more power, And also My mate's one understeer like a right bitchIt's up to you though of course, You may really like it but personally i would keep the glanza I'm sorry but there is no way i would ever sell a Glanza for a Vauxhall unless it was a Monaro VXR, I've driven a customers Astra VXR and the interior is crap, they drive...

Russleh Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 @gtr-r33 cant really use the fact they understeer as a downside compared to a starlet lol. starlet isnt very good handling wise either id quite like one but id still want my car also Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott-EP Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Yes i know starlet are not best at handling BUT they are better then any model in the VXR Range haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ibz Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 my mate went from a glanza to a nurburgring, then bought a new s3. now he's sold the s3 and bought another nurburgring. he said he enjoys the drive and the noise isnt too bad lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Lol he we go again what's best a Glanza or Astra VXR My mate has a Astra vxr nurburgring its a very nice car it pulls the pussy in lol but its a shame my 200bhp V showed him right up last summer, up to 130mph then he pulled away from me only just though.Like dave has said if you can afford it then why not good luck Steve i hope you make the right choice mate and as said above the remus exhaust system sounds unreal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Only vauxhall I'd remotely be interested in selling my 82 for would be a vx220 turbo or a monaro. Although I don't own a glanza so no real opinion on whether you should or not! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dstillie Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Are we talking standard glanza or highly tuned because if its standard then you would be off your head to choose it over the astra vxr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ibz Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Are we talking standard glanza or highly tuned because if its standard then you would be off your head to choose it over the astra vxrX 2vxr nurburgrings arent that bad are they lol. have about 260-265 bhp so theyve got enough grunt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Why does he want a older starlet for his new car? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 driven 3 different astra VXRs and loved the drive but i like vauxhalls but like jap better if i had the money i'd prob 5e and td0(what) the glanza and keep it for eva and just drive my bros vxr when i want to be bored. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Would rather have a Starlet over A Nurburg Astra anyday, i understand that Nurburg Astras are pretty quick but its just not Japanese enough for me!! Jap FTW!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 As much as I think the new VXR Astra's are ok, I wouldn't go about selling a V.I have raced my mates Astra VXR and all I can say is WOW up to like a ton, obviously. But fuck me the inside of such a new car it's horrendous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackRocket Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Thanks for the comments folks.My V's not quite standardGot Coilovers, Mani, FMIC, Leads & Plugs and a few other bits so standardish but not massivly tuned.I've got new brakes, recaro seats and a fpr and fcd to put in to up the boost slightly but I just feel like i'm drilling money into an older car that i'll not get back when I could buy the Burg which already has good power and the Remus, add the CDTi airbox and the Dreamscience Map and it will make it 300hp then add the LSD as when you get to 300hp thru the front wheels they need it.People who say that the Burg torque steers too much either cant drive or listen to Clarkson too much! I've seen and driven one hard and its no worse than a Starlet.Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 you only get torque steer when you let go off the steering! IF you are gripping it then no way will the car start turning itself, unless you are unable to keep hold of the steering wheel for what ever reason? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I love the look and sound of them tbh but the interior is just gash.Good pulling car but if your as good looking as me you could pull in a robin reliant jokes.AaronW I think his username is used to have one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
