VXR = understeer and lots of it, they would be epic with a decent chassis

:rolleyes: and standard skodas are great arent they

I don't have a standard Skoda but a vRS  :rolleyes: which has an improved chassis to cope with the extra power unlike Vauxhall that stuck 280bhp in an SRI and wondered why it understeered so much.

Astra VXR is no better, 240bhp of which 100bhp is wasted with the wooden chassis.
