| does this car exist - we hav the vxr8 on the database, i don't know of a
supercharged one with 100hp more, and if it does have a 100hp more y does 0-60
take the same time, a supercharged version is not mentioned on vauxhalls website

 That's a good question. A quick search did not get any results. This car
(version of VRX8) appears to be non-existent.

 I wouldn't have added it if it didn't exist! Shall I enter the two lap times I
had again or can they be recovered? They were both from the same car (the one in
the picture).... link to the supercharged version.....

.0-V8-Supercharged/229388/
The times for the other VXR8 are wrong they should be closer to 5.5sec to 100kph
thats why this one is no quicker.....
Have some trust guys!

| Walkinshaw Australia is a company that is owned by HSV (the people who make the
VXR8) and do aftermarket enhancements, one such kit is a Supercharger kit upping
power to 370kw (more if additional bolt ons are added).
Check the HSV or the Walkinshaw Performance site for more info.

| the 0-60 takes almost the same time as the regular vxr8? the superchargers 100
horsepower dont seem to do enough? how do the germans do it? maybe gear ratio
makes the difference?
