Default Holden HSV VXR Hatch 177kw

Look at the back page of todays West:

Holden VXR - 2 ltr 177kw 6 spd 19" wheels, abs, climate control, cruise control, recaro seats, 0-100 in 6.4 seconds for $42,990

Looks like they are having a crack at the WRX market!

If its basically the same as the Vauxhall VXR, Top/Fifth Gear didn't like it at all, understeers all over the place and yes, has massive torque steer. Basically too powerful for the drivetrain it has

And we all know how cheap those low profile 19" tyres are!
