16 Valves was a defining moment in the development of the combustion engine. Any car fitted with this technology had performance that was unsurpassed by any other vehicle on the road with the exception of Turbo or Twin Turbo cars. Vauxhall were renowned for their 16 valve technology and deployed it across a range of its hatchbacks none more successful in sales or performance than its Astra GTE. These cars were so fast that they were quicker than shit off a shovel. High recognition indeed when gauging 0-60. Astra GTE's were almost exclusively owned by the rich and famous except for the many tens of thousands that could be found across the council estates of the U.K.
The R's must be doing very well they are driving a 16 Valves! Astra GTE they are like shit off a shovel.
