Thats the point DannyO, the car the original poster linked to can hardly be called a Nova. It's a massively customised FWD turbo car. The resemblance to the factory GTE model must be tiny. You can't relate the two.BigDannyO said:But if they did that they would actually end up with a decent car, rather than the usual tripe that Vauxhall knock out. Then people would drive it and say "OMG a Vauxhall, as good to drive as a 5 Series!!!111"

Precisely. I bet it's hugely fast too despite being far from optimal due to drivetrain configuration.Phal said:Anything thats had that much work done to it and has that much power could be fun to drive. Not saying youll be beating track records or anything but im sure it would be a laugh
