Title: Just Another Car.....
Post by: Denzle on 27, April, 2011, 10:48:41 PM
How would you like to see my new car chaps......Well it will be when the private plate and the paperwork has been changed.... 8)

A Lotus in disguise, built by lotus workers along the same track....The VX 220 2.2 Only 13.000m 2001 ....Immaculate. 0 - 60 Just over 5 secs  Its all Lotus underneath with ally chassis and the vx engine and body.....  Eat your hearts out.  Just hope I dont have too many problems with it, cause it costs a lot to repair...But who gives a s**t   :P

Still got the Falcon at the mo, but might have to sell it....Will have to see... :(

Feast your eyes on this....... :o

Super looking car Denzle, had seen these cars on the road whilst in the UK, couldn't believe they were Vauxhalls.  Badge engineered Lotus makes sense.  Toyota engine?

Fully equipped for track days now then - is the steering wheel removable?

VX220 always impress me on track, they seem to handle better than their Lotus counterparts.  Enjoy and see you out on track.

Yes... Top gear comparison showed the Elise oversteered quite bad where the vx220 had a little tail hang and was smooth.
In fact every test Ive looked at the VX was far better all round.
