    As far as I'm aware there was no SRT8 and the SRT4 was pushing out nearly 300bhp.

    Yeah I know it was only the SRT-4 and no SRT-8 just like there was none with a 5.7 HEMI but the SRT-4 didn't come with Brembo's either so maybe this has had some work done. The SRT-4 was a bit mental 285hp and 270lb/ft.

    Have to say Tossy, I never thought I'd see the day that I hears you praise a Corsa! I love the OPC now...but I wouldn't of thought it would be to your taste!

    ^ but is no normal corsa :D
    Tossy, is your mate a youngish lad that works very very close to me? Because I bumped into a lad few weeks ago with another opc. Identical to mine except running on the standard 17"s.
    Went 2 years without seeing another and now look what happens!!

    Graham i always had a thing for them,thought the looked class and the power figures for a small car appealed to me.Also i thought the were less in your face than the Astra version which doesn't appeal to me at all.

    At the last get together Kevin was kind enough to let me take his car for spin and i loved it,i would hours of fun in it giving so called bigger and better cars headaches :D

    I know I posted her a few months ago when I bought her, but I've got new wheels (from a scrappy €250!) and painted the callipers, plus alfa decals, and I washed it today so I feel I have to show it off! :D

    I know, tell me about it! A V6 mustang has 4 litres and only makes 210bhp! Although the 2011 ones apparently do 300bhp.
