[Leo]

I have not seen it yet but he tells me its v quick.

Astra 2.2 SRi (2001)


These any good!??!! are they that quick or was he over excitied?

[Mitchell]

hmmm I know the gsi's are 2.0 Turbos.

not too sure about the sri's tbh. 2.2 is a hefty engine though ;D probably is fast, but not so quick.

[S34MER]

didn't know the GSI was Turbocharged??

[Mitchell]

yep pal, indeed it is.

[ada]

I wanna say GSi isn't but, the GSi Turbo is. Hence the name? Could be wrong.

[Mitchell]
