With a few mod's taking them up to 200kw, I reckon after some time has passed for a price drop, these thing's might get some status

[quote="darkstar"]Reason why the cost is so high is because of a totaly re-thought and re-designed car, with the typical turbo mods that come standard on factory cars (brakes, etc).quote]
nah, it's not.
it's an OPEL ASTRA with a holden badge on it.
The only thing Holden have done to it is fiddle with the suspension.
They've done no real design work at all

Im well awear that its an Opel car, everything is either Bosch/Siemens/Opel under the bonnet.
Design work, what i ment was the breaks and suspension, along with extra electronic aids.
If it was RWD, theres something to cheer about, but sadly its just a FWD turbo - no real fun to be had apart from counting your fuel savings.
