If it's the VXR V6 Veccy, it gets my vote - top speed 161MPH I believe.

It's not difficult to make a car go quickly in a straight line, however if there were corners involved and I was driving I would NOT want to be in a Vectra :O. To quote Jeremy Clarkson on driving the 2.7 turbo variant: "I don't know why they fit a steering wheel to this car, it doesn't do anything!" Couldn't have put it better myself :D

Both the Evo and WRX STi will obliterate even the VXR Vectra in anything but a straight-line top speed run. T5 Volvo probably not as its handling is rumoured to be pretty wolly too, though I've never driven one.

Yeah, I had one parked outside my house a couple of days ago when they picked up the Zafira we had on test drive.

Made a lovely noise!! Quite a nice looking piece of kit too.
