I went in the VXR Performance Centre's Astra SRi demo on Sunday.

A 1.9 150 CDTi Astra H 5dr with 200bhp and 330lb/ft. This was simply stunning, the in gear performance was just awesome, with them stating that it was near on as quick as an Astra VXR on the 50-70 time.

I questioned the durability of the re-map at 200bhp and was told that many hours of durability testing at Bruntingthorpe in the Astra have settled any concerns. They can't of course comment on other manufacturers re-maps but just on there own.

My New Vectra will be on it's way to the VXRPC as soon as they open in April.
