Sticky 1st to 2nd but 3rd gear will safely pull to 165 changing at 6200 rpm. And 4th gear pulls to 225 km's. Long gear ratios for top end. Car will easily do 0-200 In 18 to 19sec if you pull 4th gear over 200. If you try to get there in 6th you will possibly get figures like this. And that's just silly.

These specs for this car are way off. My car is bone stone and untouched and makes 200wheel kw and 426 nm of torque on the most stingy dyno in Durban, SA. Most astra owners will tell you that this car comes with most power from factory than even opel claims. Reads up on WG motorworx write ups on the car. There bone stock car also makes over 420nm. I can tell you that the stock car does 0 to 200 in 18 to 19sec flat. Depending of temp's. And does the 0-100 in 5.9 if you don't launch from really high rpm and bog. This car is a true joy. Torque is crazy.

That's my modest answer for the skeptics and the haters which says - without impartial and reliable proof - that is "slow" or "slower than expected and bla bla bla..." and try to guess the "real numbers" - with which title...: we don't know - :

 

0-100: 6.0 seconds real
0-200: 19.9 seconds real
0-250: 38.1 seconds real

Sorry guys: your pessimistic theories needs evidences before to talk too much... Ok, it's not powerful as a Lamborghini or a light weight car as a Lotus, but this OPC is still a good car and an amazing hot hatch, that does his job for everyday drive, or sunday free fun on mountain road ("average legal..."), or for trackday beginners which doesn't want to win the Le Mans 24 hours and doesn't want to demostrate nothing... and just wants a car to have fun, and then come back home with wife and kids, and go shopping without necessity to have 2 cars ;-) It's built for this, and it can do this very well: is still a stock car for hobby people... why you take everything so serious as every car should be "a racing car for The Stig..."?! This car is well done: faster and preciser than you can expect. The heavy weight anyway has got a small advantage: is less nervous to drive in extreme conditions, and so it's easier 'cause is smooth.
By the way: what's the point of this silly discussion? Don't lie to ourselves: except for the german autobahn, when you'll be able to find the space to find out the accelerations time...?! Useless

@Streuselkuchen

I guess he timed it by tacho.
16s by tacho should be 18-19 real seconds.
My 1999 WRX STi tuned to 330 hp does 0-200kmh in 15 seconds according to tacho, however it only weights 1270 kg.

Streuselkuchen  11y ago

No way, you`ll never reach 16 seconds in reality from 0-200 km/h with a 1475 kg car - that is fantasy! The serial goes 24.3 seconds, is EDS a wizard and able to conjure? Don´t believe in hand-stopped values.....or YouTube-Videos from Kids....

keith Griffen  12y ago

im sorry but in a straight line the 206kw OPC is not that fast. 0-100kph in 6.7s, 1/4 mile in 15.01, ikm sprint in 27.15 seconds. that's about the same as a Honda s2000.

Jip. They should just take the insignia drive train and 2.8 v6 twin turbo engine and transplant it into the astra.


User avatar

@speedmaster
Where did you learn that stuff?

But I'd like to see V6 325 PS, AWD Astra OPC. That would be serious, and probably the fastest hatch, competing with true sportcars.

@BR2
Now that's what Opel/Vauxhall needs, but anyhow Porsche.

There's a 300 horsepower Opel Astra?, cool, competing against the Ford Focus RS, no doubt. :)
