mk2 v6 vs 182 cup

[Fred@BTM]

2nd clutch Simon! god you must be "aving it" LOL

i'm on over 50K in mine on the OE clutch

 

[Fred@BTM]

Their are also better performing cars for the money than an M3, we could talk all day about this but the simple FACT is, the V6 255 is better/faster than a 182, period.....
unless you know of a std 182 that can top 153mph.....lol

i had mine on the limiter in 5th which was about 151 on the speedo

so about 140 in reality

yeah but everybody goes by the speedo so really makes no difference

 

[Dan R]

I very much doubt a v6 will do a genuine gps based 155 mph!!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

most people go by GPS, i do! my V6 has done 153 (book figure) on GPS down Bruntingthorpe, which was about 164 approx on the speedo

 

[kully]

cant believe this is still going

 

[Dan R]

I sold my origin b2 so dont have use of it anymore.

 

[Dan R]

anyway this has answered all my questions now. the v6 is faster. thats absolutely fine by me. i knew it was anyway. like i said was just just curious by how much.

I love these threads as the V6 owners do get ever so defensive!

 

[Russ_16v]

iv read through this and my own opinion is people who own the v6 love them,people who dont own a v6 dont think there worth the money lol

interesting reading tho

 

[Fred@BTM]

don't get me wrong, the V6 once you get use to it isn't blisteringly fast, a test drive doesn't give a good idea of the car, you have to live with one for a few months to really get into it

just as well, as you might be shocked to realise just how much a speedo is out at 140mph+

7-10% over read is norm

This thread has run dry I think.

There is only one winner here, and it's the Renault Clio






182!

V6= much lushness

looks better then a 182, IS faster then a 182 and is more exclusive then a 182 i know what id have

V6 end of


im trying to sway my boyfriend to get one but he keeps saying hat his m3 and cossie are quicker, but im telling him the V6 is better, looks better and will also give him enough cash left over to throttle body the Vee......but he know wants a stripped pulsar

The v6 is a great excuse for the well off to be a bit wasteful with money.

well off?

put your c**k away mate, its hardly a zonda now is it?

 

[Dash]

I did say a 'bit' wasteful not bonkers.
