Anyone Else Seen This...

Hey,

Just seen a very nice motor tonight up in West Yorkshire.

Saw it coming up in the rear mirror, a big and beefy looking saloon, but as it got nearer the roar of the 4 exhausts, and I mean roar - almost spitting fire, was anything but saloon.

Side by side it did look very new, but the sound of the engine would make a Ferrari seem puny.

Couldn't see the driver but his reg was unmistakable AUSI UFO, and the car I assume was a Holden.. ?

Thought about giving him a head start at the lights, though it wouldn't have been fair to show him up, so I let him blast away...

Well I can dream can't I ....

It's a grey Vauxhall VXR8

Around here it's known as the Pontiac G8. Very nice car but quite rare since it was only offered in the 2008-2009 model year and then dropped when GM suspended the Pontiac brand:

Could have been a Vauxhaul Insignia VXR.. someone at work has one and on idle it's pretty loud let alone under load.. sounds pretty sweet!

Yup, dark grey it was.

May be called Vauxhall here but believe they are basically Holden AU made ? (part of GM)

Surprised the driver is not regularly pulled by the police as the exhausts sounded more track ready than road, they were really crackling.

West Yorkshire's a big place...... where exactly did you see this?

Vauxhall/Holden = same thing different branding.

Vxr8's are the business though, oils of had a walkinshaw performance exhaust on it.
