Which "stealth" fast car ?

Blimey! 4.5s in estate form that's indeed stealth and fast. That's almost as quick as my M3. Is that an XDrive too?
It's quicker than my old m3 best I got from that was 5.3 (too much wheel spin in launch control) yes xdrive hence the good 0-60. Wills2 said:
Not a patch on the M3 though in terms of drama/sense of occasion and generally being great to drive.

Not exactly stealth, is it? I remember pulling up at a set of lights and a really knackered looking corsa on steel wheels pull up next to me with a couple of young lads in it grinning. As soon as they revved it and it shook and the dump valve went pssssht I realised why they were grinning. Took a few seconds to get going but when it did it took off like a stabbed rat (I had a slightly modified ST24 at the time).

Looks pretty stealthy to me considering what it's kicking out. I would never expect it to be as quick as I'm sure it is.

I remember an old corsa matching me through 3rd and into 4th on the M1 near Sheffield one time when I was in my old 911 (which was good for nearly 190mph) it did make me chuckle, but he was a bit serious about the whole thing.

OK, it's not straight out of a VX showroom but it is kinda fun, my lads "1.2" Corsa SXi+ just lowered a bit, nice wheels and knocking out in excess of 270BHP, wolf in sheeps clothing that scares the crap out of VXR's, Type 'R's, 'ST's and the like.
I just sold a Z20LET Corsa C, stage 1 map to 225 bhp.To be honest even with the standard 190 bhp it was crapping on those cars! Good shout, fairly common and easy conversion too.

Always nice to read a non biased opinion from an owner Maybe not a patch in sense of occasion but definitely a stealth fast non-modded car! Not many estate diesels can claim those figures.Not a patch on the M3 though in terms of drama/sense of occasion and generally being great to drive.
