My car has air-con and is faster than your 106 Steve. What is your point?

I agree that like for like you don't want it, hence GSis are technically quicker but there's not much in it!

I refer you to the first line of my last reply. Air-con and speed are not mutually exclusive all the time.

I agree its compromised but then I don't want to commute in an uncomfortable car. What would be nice is a 172 Cup / Evo Extreme type of Astra GSi. Sounds nice huh.
