CRAZY POWER & NO GRIP! 580hp Vauxall Astra // Nürburgring

This car is hilarious , all the power no traction, I had a MK4 GTI just like that. Old school, For a for cylinder turbo engine it sound great and properly one of the best sound I have heard on a Turbo Hot hatch.

[@JS_R35]

I've owned both a 450bhp VXR and now a 300bhp Megane RS Cup. Both are great but the Megane RS is an absolute weapon on the track, I can't wait to do some dry laps at the Ring (did around 10 wet laps unfortunately but still amazed with the car). Love the VXR build

[@andy110492]

I've done the same came from a vxr to the megane rs, both cars are good in there own way but the megane just in a different league handling wise. If i wasn't getting rid after summer id definitely spend the money and put a big turbo on and see 380-400bhp

[@Vazquez12able]

How is a car struggling for grip because it has too much power well built? Not even mentioning the turbo lag

[@MrWip3out]

@@Vazquez12able Front Wheel Drive, not the best tires, suspension, improper LSD setup, too much power at one stage. All these factors can equal the struggle for grip. The biggest factor will be the car being FWD and the turbo just hitting the tires with too much power all of a sudden (instead of linearly) - because of this you need to make sure all the other factors are set up properly to minimize the loss of grip.

[@viatrufka]

Very entertaining car, but the owner should mount a smaller turbo - it would spool up quicker and still be usable. Also the oversteer on flugplatz was dangerous - the car could use a spoiler or looser springs in the back.

[@BySixa]

Or at the very least a more agressive, smaller A/R ratio

It might be. The Peugeot is much lighter and has far less drivetrain loss. Above 100 mph (once it can actually put the power down), the Peugeot might actually be faster than a 600 hp RS3. Especially the “600 hp” RS3 we’ve seen Misha drive 😛
