Top Gear Hot Hatchbacks

What a complete hoot! How funny is that VXR! Reminds me of my old Pulsar ET Turbo (if anyone remembers them). I thought THAT THING had terrible torque steer and understeer and it only had 80kw(?~100hp)! The chassis just couldn't handle the ?power! Was exciting though. Went like stink for its day. It is going to be interesting when HSV release the VXR here in a few months. Wont be too popular with the V8 brigade.

Drove a Cordia Turbo in my youth and that thing had so much torque steer and turbo lag it was bloody dangerous.
