Hi Guys

I am interested in bidding on this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VX220-VAUXHALL-

but am a bit curious about the exhaust, has anyone ever seen this before, do you think that it will come with extra BHP?

This car has been discussed on the vx owners forum and the general consensous (spelling?) is that its a mess. Extra BHP claims from an exhaust are always wishful thinking. Save your money mate, there are so may better examples around.

In my humble opinion I think the vertical exhausts of the VX are 1 of its many great features.

Mungo, don't know what you are looking for, but there is an awesome VXR220 for sale at VX220.org.uk at the moment (no, it's not mine!). It has had the Thorney stage 3 and must be one of the fastest cars going.
It does have the livery on it thought but you can always take that off i think.

Mungo, dont know if yours is modded, but if not I believe your 0-60 is 6.9 seconds which is a fair bit slower then an NA and a lot slower than a VXT.

Get a red one, there even faster!!

Good luck in your hunt.

I have a CTR and VX NA ..... My NA obliterates the CTR on real country roads.
