( oh yeah.. take the poll too =P )

As you may have noticed, this isn't an Opel GT.. in fact it's a 2003 2.0 Speedster Turbo (also known as Vauxhall VX Turbo in UK) featuring some mods. I bought this car about one month ago from a friend of mine (now as a Mugen-Honda S2000) and I'm very happy with it.
From stock this baby can do 0-60 in 4sec. flat and hit the 152mph in 30.8sec, but this one here can do the same 0-60 in 3.8sec. and do 167mph due to the extra hp and -72lbs coz' of things like the racing exhaust and the glass fiber hood and doors; well, enough of that, here "she is":

And here are some of my friend doing the 0-60 on an old shutdown air field near Lisbon: (took these with a DV cam).

Now you can see (in part) the huge pontential of this lightwheight beast; (the dif beetween the 1st and the last shot is only 1.5sec and I had to zoom in...). It beat the sh** out of a M3 SMG-II on Estoril International Raceway doing 1:31:05 against the 1:33:04 of the M3, placing 4th overall below a 911 Turbo and a Morgan Aero 8.
Nothing like a beautiful light MR roadster to make you day hum?

Me and an old friend: ( I'm the one on the left duh =P ) Pic's about 1yr old.

The pictures of the car photographed at Lisbon are the same car that Jeremy Clarkson tested for top gear (Vauxhall vx220). They appear to be vidcaps from the test. Go to: http://www.car2max.com/topgear.html
and click on Opel Speedster test. Watch video at 5min 29sec into video. That car is right hand, your car is lefthand drive, hmmm.
