Think it's something stupid like 320bhp now (not sure on torque figures). He's bought an S60 for everyday use, so he just trailers the 850 around now...
Now it's stripped out the car's gone from 2 tonnes to about 1100kg...  Handlings awesome with the custom Leda setup.
Some guy recently on a track day was given the flag to let my brother overtake... the guy was in a Porsche GT3 Obviously couldn't drive for shit!

New Vectra 1.9 CDTi (150ps) is a great car to drive, the 3.0V6 CDTi is just stupid and sounds great.
