Heh, a small, light car with a short wheelbase like the Astra OPC is sure going to be scary. The Vectra should indeed be better, and with a larger engine to start off with, the turbo should be less noticeable.

I don't think there's any particular cutoff point for engine output in a smallish FWD car, but certainly it begins to get much more difficult to make it smooth and controllable around where the Astra OPC is.
