None of the tuners apart from 1 are offering high power tunes for exactly that reason. You could indeed whack on a great huge turbo and a massive intercooler as one bloke has from sweeden. He's got 362bhp and 630NM of torque
The gearbox and drivetrain are under enough torment at 300bhp, let alone 370bhp. Thus nobody offers it yet. And even then, we've not found anybody who'se actually bought the 380bhp package offered by MPG which is the sole UK tuner offering anything that high power.

im on about his old black one that he made look like a standard sri not his new one
prior to his black VXR he had a 1.9 CDTI 150 which he got custom made VXR-D badges made up for.
You're thinking of somebody else i reckon.
I had a passenger ride in the black 150 and he then sold it. got himself a black VXR and stripped the outside back to SRi Spec. then purchased his blue one he has now.
Oh lord that's pretty tragic!
Amusing thing is, the Police use Vectra C 2.8 Elites which are rated at 220 ish bhp or 250bhp and use an autobox
They are just de-tuned Z28NETs however and will remap to the same 300bhp as the Vectra VXR does.
Rumour is the police ones are tuned back to VXR spec of 276bhp.
He still has the black one ?
He's just added Focus RS bonnet vents to it..

You've definately got your wires crossed and thinking of somebody else.

:/
the look on your face as it rips off into the distance
Same reason people have top of the range PC's and only play minesweeper
'Coz they can
Or rips into the garage on the back of a break down truck
Out of interest how much money in total have you spent on car plus mods at the 350bhp stage?
to be fair he'd spent a bucketload on it at that point. It was running over 200bhp, had AP Racing 6 pot brakes, upgraded suspension, strutbrace, team dynamics pro race lightweight alloy wheels etc..
It wasnt far off VXR spec before he ripped all the mods off and put it back to standard (he carried over what he could to the VXR, like AP brakes and TD pro race alloys etc..)

Not me mate, im only running 225Bhp
I just cant get my head round that, once you start hitting the 15-20k mark why not just buy a decent capable car?
Im not knocking anyone, because obviously to each his own, i just cant understand it
Well then you wont be ripping past anyone but at least you will be reliable.
I was on about the over tuned people breaking down
Sorry wasnt clear i was asking in general what the cost of car plus mods would be to get up into the 300's.
Theres not a lot thats faster and a saloon for that sort of money thats as new. Unless you consider the impreza / evo
I'd have a 335 over my VXR, but the 335 is still way more expensive.
