I dont think the Phase 1 is quicker than the Meg
http://www.torquestats.com/index.php?pid=mph100
0-100 times
V6 14.6
R26-R 14.7
0-60
V6 5.8(ish)
R26-R 6.0
So the PH2 V6 is very very slightly quicker in a straight line
0.1 sec quicker to 100mph! I think the words "very very slightly" should really be "there ain't no feckin difference at all!"
