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.

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.Are you thinking of the VXR8?

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 a Australian Holden vehicle. It may not have be homologated for towing.Are you thinking of the VXR8?

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.
I think they were the Holden Monaro? A really fast car, but apparently with poor road holding?
My brother had the estate version........it was rapid!!!I don't know about a Vectra but there was a Lotus Carlton
That was quick

Vauxhall Carlton. There were questions asked in parliament on weather it should be allowed.
The OP could consider a an insignia tourer loads of kit and good value. Check my signature below.

I remember it as the Opel Carlton a vehicle used widely by our police. By all accounts a very nice car for its day.
