The VXR is considered the ultimate drift machine because it is old American engineering,plus a good chasis then sold to Australia and Europe. It makes 564hp from a Corvette V8, add rear wheel drive and the tires will turn to smoke. It does 0 to 60mph in a quick 4.2sec and will reach 190mph. Best of all it is no ordinary saloon that hides its ability under luxury. It has a supercharger that shrieks when you get it going, the car makes a scene. It could quite possibly be the best noise in the world.
When ever I see a great car over seas from an American affiliate company it makes me wonder why we can't have cars like that. This is because the market for big V8's in Australia is huge. It Australia you are either born in a Ford family or GM family and you worship the cars from that point on. The two groups actually have full out fights between each other. This because of the Bathurst race. Australian Ford's race Australian GM's, this is where the Vauxhall gets its name because Vauxhall is a GM brand. That is why we can't have these cars because there isn't enough die hard fans. Its a shame!
