anyone raced a v6?

I

imperial04

Car  VX220 lightning
just wondering how much quicker the v6 is compared to a 1*2... the stats show it to be quicker but not enough to warrent the extra cash.
 
i did a ph1 v6 and it pulls much harder than a 182, left me behind but once the gap opened to about 20m it didnt get much bigger
 
Dunno about a 1*2 but I'd love to have a blast in my 225!! lol

Off the line I'd expect a V6 to be quicker but rolling start I'd imagine would be similar.

Like for like and both cars standard, the turning circle of a Vee is much worse than a 182.

Australian three-trailer road trains have been known to out-turn a V6.... ;)

my flatmate has a heavily worked on ph1 v6. up to about a ton there isn't much in it, then he goes straight past me and is gone.
 
V6 will always win s speeds climbe thoug as the power realy will start to make its difference as power to wieight don't matter as much as speeds build.
 
^ depends what you want, its a stunning car. the only thing is, by the time it becomes as much fun as a 1*2 you are traveling at stupid speed. you have to be so much more respectful, but that is the fun of them. fear! lmao.
 
No one buys a clio V6 for it's performance per £ ratio. People who do buy them buy them for other reasons, such as looks, sound and the uniqueness (is this even a word?) of them, amoungst other things.
 
was behind steve in his v6 on the northampton breaky run and it was a rocket. not sure if it was standard tho

pmsl - yeah I remember that, the vee had to do it again to get round.

Agreed that the turning circle on the vee is pap (13m) I think a 182 is something like 11m ??

A stripped out cup will lose a v6.

if you are down my way, you should come and have a go in tims! believe me i've tried!! in the twisties he can't get passed me driving safely, but you cant loose him at all. on an open road he will be gone.
i think the thing is that it's easy to drive a 1*2 on the limit, but to drive a vee hard needs completely different skills. but once you can drive one ( and i cant) you can reach obscene speeds.
 
totally different cars

v6 isnt about speed...its amazing how well they handle when you know them though, I now have more confidence in my vee than my mums 182..(after 18 months of ownership)
 
It#s that MR setup that makes them so great. A lot of cars to be honest struggle 0-60 with 1*2 but high speed the game changes.
 
At the hill climb we race in the V6 was between 5/8 seconds slower than the cups.Course is 3 1/2 miles long.SLUG
 
i would have the V6 over the 172 even tho the performance gap isnt that large. Once you have driven a Vee you will understand ;)
 
I don't think many V6 owners buy them worrying about whether they're quicker than a 182. I bought mine for the experience.

My mate's got a 182 Trophy, nice it is too - and probably as quick as, if not quicker than the V6 in the real world.
