Wasn't there a super duper high performance Vauxhall Vectra in about 1996 that went like a bat out of hell. I drove one and the performance was breath taking and you had to be very careful. It was not my car.
Are you thinking of the VXR8?

6 litre 600 BHP but it wasn't released until 2007. Staying on topic, I'd imagine it would tow quite well. :ROFLMAO: ;)

Thanks. I thought that it had the designation VX, but probably not the same car. I think it was about 2000 that I drove one? Too much power.

Felt great on pulling of and on a straight run, but I was unsure on bends especially on A roads which are bumpy as it felt as if the rear end wanted to break away. Only drove it for about 100 miles and that was enough.

If it's the one I'm thinking of it was based on an Australian Holden vehicle. It may not have be homologated for towing.
When I worked in Oz my boss had one of those Holdens. Absolutely awesome, probably able to pull the A frame off a caravan or alternatively leave its boot structure on the dust.
