Opinions: My GPS vs MK4 Astra 888 Turbo

[jug]

GP vs Mk4 astra is exactly the same as corsa vs mk4 astra, so there is only one possible winner.

^thats one VX i'd happily swap my alfa for^

Go all the way and get an Astra VXR. In fact, I know of one for sale...

Unfortunately i'm not in a position to spend vxr money, otherwise it would be nothing less!

And i quite like the sound of my car thankyou

Yeah, but Kris's sounds like a tractor. Goes like **** off a shovel though.

yes and yes.

After the last weeks experiences, I'll probably end up getting a bike!

I took the GP on the one way mountain section of the isle of mann tt course this week, and I'm happy, even though at 110mph bikes were going past me like I was in reverse.

are you sure you weren't actually in reverse? you can't expect to outperform a bike mate! Although you could always knock them off! :idea:

Z1000s are gorgeous bikes, got a real streetfighter edge to them. I did a lap of the tt course as a pillion on a TL1000 on wednesday, they just pull an pull!

Of course but you wouldn't believe the speeds some folk manage.

Yea your welcome to! I'll hopefully be there on a bike next year!

On race day one rider got clocked at 197mph. Its good to watch considering you are about 10ft from the riders.

lol i'll hold you to that mate!!

haha, that's pretty damn quick then! I had a ride in an old skool Zetec S last nite which had the full Ford Racing Puma Setup...Fcuk me is all i can say to that!! Its not that it's faster than anything else on the road (although it is immensly rapid!) its just that there's so little around you the feeling is definately scary!!

Its all great until one of the bikes comes off into the crowd would love to go though

Well we saw one rider catapulted into a building but he's apparently 'comfortable' in hospital.

The 1.7 FRP engines in te zetec-s are quite nippy but do feel alot faster than they actually are.

lol, comfortable compared to what?! being flat on a building i'd guess...

yeah, i wldn't say i was thrown back in my seat or anything...i guess its just the fact you don't expect the speedo to increase like that in a zetec s! I've always seem them as all show and no go lol. rather waste my money on something else though tbf...

 

[devans_sporting]

yeah the frp 1.7 engine does seem a bit slow, i always thought it would be a bit quicker considering its 155bhp

the frp is a beautiful car though, hopefully swap my GP for one as soon as i can get one insured

And back on the topic i saw an astra 888 at demon tweeks the other day, lovely looking car
