    GT4

    beavis on that link above it says

     

    "The slightly disappointing part is that the 35th Anniversary Z - also known as the GT4 in reference to the car's appearance on the Sony Playstation Gran Turismo game"

     

    "While another 20bhp sounds like a lot, I'd be a liar if I told you that the GT4 (35th Anniversary is such a mouthful) feels gorblimey faster than a regular Zed. In fact, to start with you might even wonder if you've been mugged by a bit of marketing spin and that there really isn't a power increase at all. Give it a few miles, though, and you'll detect the engine's slightly greater eagerness to please, coupled to a sense of improved fitness. You begin to use the revs more than you do in the standard car, and can feel that at the upper end of the mid-range there's more energy available. What you still won't feel too much like doing, however, is revving the rumbly V6 all the way up to that higher redline, as there's no discernible advantage in doing so."

     

    so does that mean the GT4 is the same car as the 35th annivesary?

    It doesn't seem to be reflective.

     

    But I was driving home from Hatfield forum around 2am last night and police were camped out everywhere. One came behind me and done the usual number plate checks then they drove on past me. So would have easily seen it.

     

    So no bother really.

     

    I'm sure you could get reflective, but I didn't know it had to be until you lot asked earlier!

     

    thats good enough proof for me! i will get mine ordered now i think :)

    Could this be the 35th anniversary version? It ticks all the boxes, it's the right year (2005), colour and as far as I can tell this was the only model that came with the black/tan seats, if so, it would also have the 296 bhp engine as stated in the advert.

     

     

    Here's another clue, this a photo of the 35th anniversary edition and that also has no rear spoiler. The only difference seems to the aerial.

    let me tell you a short story, then i will get to the point of my thread (i did do a albeit very quick search and im pretty confident its not a repost)

     

    So a few years ago now (about 2 or 3) i had a Astra VXRacing edition, and vauxhall held there first VXR powere events and one of these were Go-Karting (at varuious locations around the uk)

     

    it was a 2 1/2 hour endurance race for teams of 4 people (up to a max of 12 teams) and me and my mates entered at manchester, we were in the lead until the last 3 minutes and our clutch broke!! :rant: we ended up in 3rd place, so i came up with a cunning plan to do another event but go to the AM session as it would be alot quieter and less teams so we booked in for the event in thruxton (with a slightly different 4 man team only 2 originals) we turned up and there were 12 teams again! (i was gutted as i thought we would have had an easier time) then we had our briefing and we were told strauight away by dougie (VXR promotions manager) that there were 12 teams but 8 were for charity and were not allowed to win and take part in the grand finale at silverstone! :) (i was back on the top of the world and feeling very good!)

     

    our team had a look around and a chat with our competion (the other 3 none charity teams) we all got back and had a bit of a natter and we had come to the conclusion that it was in the bag, (1 team were a 4 man team all over 50, 1 team was a bunch of girls, and the 3rd team were a bunch of guys that were all carrying abit of weight (if you know what i mean))

     

    so off we went we did our qaulifying laps and we were in 1st place! get in there, we decided i would go first as i was pretty good with the cold tyres and getting out of the car rather than getting in it, the race started and i was gone...... in my 40 mins i built up a 3 lap lead which i was very happy with, we changed drivers at the end of his 40 mins we were on the same lap as 2nd place (the 4 old guys) our 3rd driver (my bro) got in and when he came in we were 1 lap ahead again (well in bro!) and our final driver got in we were confident we had it in the bag as our last driver is abit of a pro (without a licence) but the old guys kept on catching us, we had everything crosed on the very last lap the old guys got past and won we were gutted :bang: we could not believe it!

     

    after we had the presentations for the medals and a few people (dougie) had done a speach to say thanks to everyone for turning up we chatted to the old guys again and it turns out they were all ex-pro go-kart racers for a number of years :evil: i saw this as cheating but let it slip by

     

     

     

    Anyway back on topic,

     

    i received a inbox messaged on faceache from my mate (driver 4) with a link http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_ ... 3196041866 asking if me and a few of our mates had seen or heard about this and would we be up for doing it? i am well up for it and just thought i would spread the word, even if you only have a look and your not interested i bet someone you know would be :)

     

    heres the link again : http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_ ... 3196041866

     

    has anyone heard of this already? maybe see a few zeds wherever we end up going? prob around the midlands/stoke/manchester
