raced a V6 last night....farnham

[alexessex_7]

So if there is anyone out there who knows the round about which is at the bottom of the A331 in Farnham, I was driving round it and spotted an Arctic V6 pull off the motor way and on to my rear bumper, so as you do through it into second and off we went, he generally couldnt pull out to get past me untill about 115 - 120mph, chased him down to the BP near farnham train station and pulled over and had a chat, all he could say is there isnt much in performance difference between the 2 cars. I was shocked as considering you pay 10k plus for a decent V6 and you can pick a decent 182 up for half the price, dont see the point really!

Sounds like a interesting little dual there !! Least he was a good lad to pull over and have a little chat !!

Your shocked that a car that was £27k new is twice the price now than one that was £14k new... Hmmm

Theres quite a few points - I bet round the bends the RWD and balance would be faster and more fun!
ALso in 5 years time the 5k difference will be 8k difference as the 182 will depreciate alot more than the rarer V6

The V6 isn't all about speed! The looks and sound more than make up for it, and besides it's no slouch with a decent driver behind the wheel.

Oh and I wouldn't say how fast you were going on a public road TBH
