Love to the same comparison on a fast track such as old Hockienhim or old spa. think the V6 would be a good few seconds ahead after each lap :)
Simon.
I would still rather have my V6 than a very normal looking 182 :)
yeah but you have to be carefull with insurance companys.
saw an artical on a girl that bought a VW golf with alloys on that the sales person said where standard equipment so that when the insurance company asked if it had any "extras" on or still standard she said "standard", however she...

errrr the V6 was only 3 seconds behind that time and in the pouring rain (182 in the dry), in the dry it would be at least 5 -6 seconds quicker I reckon... 1m30 (or less) :)

No I Dont think that £27k is to much for a Mid engined RWD car with looks/performance that could kill...lol ;)
As Clarkson said, it looks like a supercar, sound like a supercar and goes like a supercar so at £27k its the bargin of the century :) :)
Simon.
The turning circle is around 13 metres kerb to kerb I believe, most hatches are around 10m??
So its slightly more than most, but not quite the 3 miles of an oil tanker...lol
Yes you could use it for everyday use.
I dont because I have kids and need 4 seats for everyday use, but my parents...
Yeah it is, shame the v6 was in the pouring rain would have loved to have seen what "The Stig" could have done in the dry??
could have knocked a good few seconds of the 1:36.2 me thinks.. :)
Simon.
You should put them in "Dry" and "Wet" times, because I know for sure the Elise, Clio V6 and Vanquish where all wet times.
Infact the Clio V6 was in Torential rain, would loved to have seen how much better the times where in the Dry?
Simon.
Yeah that right.
1. Aircon on = -3-4mpg
2.Aircon off windows open= -1-2mpg
3.aircon off windows closed = no fuel loss but a fu*king suna :)
Net loss is only about 2 mpg :)
So I have mine on the time this weather.....feels great :)

The V10, if there is such a thing sounds awseome :)
However any car that can do 0-122 in only 11.4 seconds is special, whether is done by NOS or not imho :)
Simon.
This one is very rapid.
PERFORMANCE (Modified)
0-62: 4.9 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.4 sec. at 122 mph
Top speed: 160 mph (Estimated)
Skid pad: 1.1 g’s
anycar that can go 0-122 in 11.4 sec gets my vote :)

Where do you guys get your cheap michelin PS tyres from??
I dont need any yet as I have only had my V6 for a week, but looking at prices for the 245x40 ZR18s best I have seen is £170 each??
Simon.
Can you get cover for the price of a new tyre too??
I was looking at some prices for the rear tyres (245x40x18 Z) and the best price I saw as £200 each ...hope I dont get any blowouts :)
Simon.

Thats why I am getting "AA Relay" £85 because My Clio V6 255 doesnt even come with a spare wheel :( just some foam filler repair stuff.
I emailed them about it and they say that "Replay" does cover flat tyres.
