If so, you're famous!
Watch the SR3 hot lap on Evo's website and you can see a green or black Turbo getting nicely sideways when turning in to one corner. Good effort!

I think this may have been the April 2003 Evoactive day at Donington. I was there with my Fiat Coupe 20V turbo. Vauxhall had brought along several VXTs which were driven by instructors. They looked fantastic, spent the whole day sideways and one of the drivers managed to mangle a driveshaft near the end of the day. I blame that day for getting me into this state (ie must have a VXT). There were a couple of Radicals. They're terrifying, make everything else look as if it's standing still and come at you SO fast.

I think it was Phil Bennet hooning around in the VXT. Vauxhall started with 3 demo cars I think. By the end of the day 2 were sitting in the paddock looking a little rough round the edges... bald nearside rear on one and gearbox leak on the other. I was there in my 2.2. The VXTs were damned impressive on the straights! The SR3 and Evo's R400 were pretty handy too :)
