Calling out the Aussies!

I caught part of a review on Top Gear about the Vauxhall VRX8. I had never heard about it until then, but it looks like a pretty nice ride. They were comparing it to an M5, so I was wondering anyone have any first hand reviews. Is it really up the standards of an M5?

Yeah nah..... they're good, for the money, but not an M5 competitor. The build quality lets it down, but in a strait line they are quick. And tuning them to 500+hp at the rtreads is cheap and easy.

The G8 got it looks from the VRX8.... ;)

Good looking car fo sure...the M5 is sweet too!

[Marlin]
