How fast is that compared to a super car, like say a GTR/Lambo?

Look it up but i'm sure a stock GTR does 0-60 in just over 3 and this thing did it in a run at 2.7

From what I can see in the video, the Mk2 in question is running a 9 second 1/4 mile. The Astra VXR it is up against runs a pretty respectable 14.6 so it would seem the timing at the strip is pretty accurate.

To put that into perspective, a Bugatti Veyron runs a 10.4 second 1/4 mile.

Is there a build thread for this or any info on spec's for it?

Assume it must be running haldex rather than syncro?

Nice bit of engineering. I like the idea of pulling up to a veyron at the lights and then giving them a spanking over the .25 mile :grin:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
