No, it's not road legal
No, it doesn't use an M32
But it is, for all intents and purposes, an Astra. Uses a GM gearbox, Z20LEx engine...
9.361 @ 156.25mph!
Current European record is 8.99 @ 161 so it's not far off, especially considering he jumped from 17th in europe to 2nd this weekend!

Ok, so it's not that close, but he's jumped from 9.975 to 9.361, so there may be more to come as by the looks of it it's it's first outing in it's revised spec.

you better let him into the secret that he could shave off a couple of seconds by fitting a gearbox that will allow him to wheel spin the whole way up

9.86 @ 148.63.
16th fastest in Europe.
UKs fastest is 9.769 @ 151, so even as a country, we have a way to go!
