It's the VXR for me.. looks way better. One of the appeal factors for me is you don't see many GTC VXR's on the road.. like the ST's, GTI's and R's which are so common place.. Down side.. dated dash with it's cluttered buttons.. even after 4yrs.. I still need to look closely at the dash so as not to push the wrong button when operating the radio or sat nav.. Pretty pokey in stock formation rhough..
Vxr on the sound test I personally think I have had the pleasure of owning both these type of cars but to be honest I am a Vauxhall man personally but the focus st is by far a better everyday drivers car & handles better as the vxr is an absolute lunatic with way to much under steer unfortunately.
The Astra takes the win all day for me, but being the owner of a VXR I'm pretty sure the F40 gearbox was already at the limit of its torque rating at 400nm when it left the factory. Have you had any issues with stage 1 or 2 affecting gearbox reliability?
I need help I'm not understanding something, is the Astra GTC VXR the same as an Astra VXR?? If so is the only difference the fact that it's based on the Astra GTC which is a Coupe and not a Hatchback?? I told you I was lost....
@@DKTuninghq I thought so but with all work and stress and lockdown the mrs especially my mind has just turned to mush thankyou for clearing this up for me mate.
Need to get my vxr stage one done asap. Never liked the st. And most who own one just wish they had the rs. VxR all day . Massive love for videos like this.
Vxr all day everyday understeer yeah but better looking, far better interior (ford interiors are a letdown in general) and in the blue or red the vxr looks so nice😍also clever suspension with vxr mode, beautiful seats,
Video sound is awful to much interference by the wind so kind of hard to make out what your saying but other than that both nice cars have a vxr had an st.
Vxr does look nicer and is faster from factory but the interior is dated clutterd with buttons on the dash no touchscreen no heated winscreen ,focus wins it for me more practical day to day
Vxr all day for me, just looks and seems more of an animal them wheels and big brakes too! Propper hot hatch 😈
alot of people have the same opinion mate it is no doubt a brilliant car and agressive on stage 1 too, very track focused we reckon :)
Agreed the Astra is a very sexy animal 😏😊
It’s a blender aswell don’t look like a racer
Chocolate engine tho
@@joshdavis3409 no worse than the 2.0 ecoboost the st has..

The driver shows no emotion 😂😂

True the VXR unfortunately has some serious understeer problems when pushed hard but imo it does look a lot more pleasing
it beats the focus st around the track. Take back your claim XD
But the Focus has proven to understeer more, here and on other videos.
Vxr all day long. Love my astra J 🔥
Definitly the VXR!
VRx💪💪💪😜👍👍
VxR😜💪🤝😜😜💪🙌👌👌🙆🙆🙆
Recently got an ‘18 plate VXR, taking it for a stage 1 tune at Rabbid soon
Still contemplating on mapping my vxr not sure yet would be interesting to see the difference 🤔
Love vxrs I have the vectra vxr and I love it
Yay I’m so happy to hear it ☺️ only ever seen one Vectra vxr shame really
I love the look of the vectra, Always been a car I wanted. Hardly see any of them on the road.
Vxr all day
♥️😊✊ go on Vauxhall !
Absolutely not, Vauxhall’s just fall to bits
What should i get the h or j
@@jack_marchant I've got the j mate and I love it it's tuned and it's savage
@@paulbennett6379 just deciding like ove been told the h is better and im just getting confused on which one to get
Vxr looks so much better 💪💪
Anyone know what front splitter that is on the VXR?? Love it 😍
Check out Maxton designs. It looks like one of their ones
It's the Maxton Designs yes, cheap universal rubbish.
Now that is content! Keep these types of videos coming!!! 💪💪💪
✌🏻😈
@@DKTuninghq PS Astra VXR all day! 👍
Astra j vxr all day long
Is it windy over your way🌀🌀🌀😁😀, cheers from Opel Astra J OPC owner😀
What’s up with the welly on the left
VXR for the true chavs. Lol
Don’t suppose anyone knows what boost pressure I should be running on my gtc vxr standard? Online it says out of factory about 1.4bar?
20psi stock

no issues yet buddy they seem to be handling extra torque very well :)
mine is at 510NM of torque on standard gearbox. They are much stronger than the M32 in the previous Astra
theres a bit of video with your wind

current models are the same thing mate its just known as an astra vxr now but is based on the gtc shape :)

Drop us an email to get it booked in ASAP then 🔥🥰 info@dktuning.co.uk
Just done stage one mods just waiting for forge blow off to turn up and then intercooler. Then hopefully book in before the summer.
@@markmerrilees6044 yes mate, look forward to seeing you 💪💪
Was the VXR in vxr mode?
yes matey
I think the OPC is much more Motor Sport then the ST.. You should compare it to RS.. 🙂
could look into that we were more comparing these as they were very closely matched :)
Yes id like to see it with an RS
If vauxhall had made a 5 door they would of been top vxr still looks nice
But the focus is more pratical like the RS still 5dr
Although it is an astra J previous model it still looks nicer than the focus. The astra always retains a design that is to last for decades
VXR 😍
I had my vxr stage1 and was great now it’s stage 2 and An Animal🔥🔥🔥🔥 so stage 3 here we come 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦾🦾🦾
What's exhaust vxr?
cobra cat-back matey
Focus much better car all rounder
Bud had to turn the sound down because of the wind lol
Focus is much better looking car imo especially in that colour
🤣🤣 have you been checked for corona lately
@@brucek1969 Why? is having an opinion a symptom 😆
Focus is bland and dull. My Astra VXR turns heads
@Asif Noaman bland and dull and focus st shouldn't be used in same sentence
@@shadow1x20 its plain as fuck. The RS stands out and has a decent body kit etc. The ST is crap
OPC LOOKS BETTER
Definitely agree ☺️✊
Of course Astra VXR. I've got one.
Vxr all day everyday understeer yeah but better looking, far better interior (ford interiors are a letdown in general) and in the blue or red the vxr looks so nice😍also clever suspension with vxr mode, beautiful seats,
Video sound is awful to much interference by the wind so kind of hard to make out what your saying but other than that both nice cars have a vxr had an st.
i know we didn't realise that till after we finished filming mate that why i had to put subtitles in :)
Astra vxr hands down! 😁
Definately
Vxr does look nicer and is faster from factory but the interior is dated clutterd with buttons on the dash no touchscreen no heated winscreen ,focus wins it for me more practical day to day
good point well made, both great cars and have pros and cons for both :)
The inside is a mess and that put me right off it, the ST doesn’t understeer like a twat either, even without an LSD
No one can have a heated windscreen, Ford owns that luxury.
Astra VXR
Sound vxr all day long
The vxr
VXR all day!
ST for me.
Astra all the way.
The vxr all day long ;)
💯
300bhp lol more like 270bhp my full stage 2 is only 292bhp
Only astra vxr .... 👍
Vxr
VXR

Just get a mk7 golf gti stage 1 around 320bhp
Golf’s are dull and boring and expensive. And they all look the sane, Golf R is different though.
Vxr all day
