im the same mate, still love my jap cars, but turbo tuning is not for me far too many problems.....

i had to go n/a and the ls1 offered me most bang for my buck and tunablity!

and then theres the soundtrack, the tourque....the list goes on and on!!

I think Moanro5.7 picked his up from the south and drove it back to bonnie Scotland so its him you've got to beat - take a note of your mileage !!

Welcome BTW !!

good to have another owner up here, if you're near Dunfermline then there's a Vauxhall Drivers Club group meet there last Sunday of every month - in the beefeater type place just off the m90. At least one VXR8 owner there - not sure if paul450 from here has started going along as well. they attend a lot of stuff at knockhill through the year as well.
