    So damn gorgeous! Yellow is my least favourite colour in the VX220 until now!! Hope to buy one in the next year and take an easy 20 min drive to Crail, thanks for making this vid hope the Yellow Vaux is still on the road.

    I'm an American and the VX220/Speedster has always been one of my favorite cars. Wish I didn't have to wait 25 years to import one.
    I've kept up with prices for these and I could be wrong but they seem to have actually gone up a little over the last few years.
    Glad to see guys like you enjoying yours. Such a cool car.

      kjparlay I used to own one back in 2008, they’re actually selling for more money now😭
      I’m looking at getting one in about six months. I really wish I hadn’t sold mine as it was a brilliant car.

      I've owned mine from new in 2003.. sadly have to sell in a month or 2.😢 Europa Blue NA. Will probably put it up on VX220.org.uk and Pistonheads

    I've underestimated this series for a long time and didn't consider watching it because i originally thought this would be more of a vlog. Now decided to take a look after seeing the On Board VX220 vid. It isn't a vlog and it's great. Love the storytelling as always!

    I don’t even like Vauxhall/Opel/Holden cars but I gotta admit, that vx220 is sweet

    Ha ha, what are the odds that you'd find another Turbo VX220 there ! That is awesome ! This is a really great video. Very good presentation and visuals. Greetings from Prague, CZ

    About the heater... at least at lower speeds and higher revs, you don't really need it. After all the car has got a nice, big neck heater built in just behind the seats. :-D

  • @rotorblade9508

    I’ve added induction cooling for brakes, improved brake discs and pads, limited slip diff
    What stage is it ?

    Great video ,for drag racing wise you took into account your weight but you didn't take into account that your both in the car so should of been both your weight together then the fuel etc

  • @rotorblade9508
    @rotorblade9508 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My calculations say 13.7-1.5 for the passenger-0.3 for the camera and extra, -0.7reaction time =11.2s
    But 1/10 per 10pounds of weight cannot apply to any car. Lighter cars have a higher wind resistance fraction over the power for the same hp/t ratio unless they are extremely aerodynamic
    Your car has around 290 hp/t while gallardo has 297 so they are comparable but gallardo spyder has 540hp and it copes better with air drag so your car is indeed slightly below the gallardo (12.1s) and 12.7 is fairly accurate

    One question, did the 220 turbo's time beat the Lambo?

    Performance stages remind me of upgrades in racing games.

    Have you confirmed your horsepower with a dyno? I'd guess its lower than you think

    You lot honestly should of got rid of all the luggage and close the roof man! With the roof open, you added like 150kg.....of weight/drag
