That's it you haven't sold it

I would be up for that.... 2 V6's roaring down the highway... Enough to set car alarms off in nearby towns

Best get saving for the fuel then lol

I don't know what you mean mate, I can get an extremely amazing 25 miles to a tenner Although the other week I got 15

When I had my vectra gsi msd I used to get 65miles max to 20quid. Shocking!

Before the MOT ran out on my V6, I switched to regular unleaded and switched the RON plug back, noticed a slightly better MPG result but would need to test it thoroughly to determine the actual difference.

Must say, I can't complain. Running a Dodge Charger 440 Hemi would be more interesting

Fifteen miles!!! I do hope that's a joke.

The v6 was more thirsty than my current impreza. I absolutely hated running it, heard Cavaliers are a bit better. I'd rather run a v8

how much better will the handeling be on this mate ?

No joke mate, wasn't even pushing it to be honest, just round town stop-start nonsense.. Put a tenner in, 15 or so miles later the needle was back where it was before


And yes, V8 any day Sorry to mess up your thread Troy

Don't worry I like chit chat

Best cheap v8 engined car has got to be the 98ish LS400s

I need a v8 in my life A v8 turbo would be even better

Forget turbos, a blower is all you need...

Hmm maybe, do love the sound of them.

Although my mrs uncle has a 1500bhp cortina V8 that he used to run a supercharger on but it just couldnt cut it anymore so upgraded to 2 massive turbos instead!

American hot rodders would laugh at 1500 hp.

Their way - get a classic Chevy body, custom chassis, ethanol powered supercharged V8 up front, 2000hp + and they're happy

There is more to cars than hp you know.
It's like owning a big dick and not knowing what to do with it lol

Had that problem several times thanks..

But down the straights, you just want to plough it....

What did you think I was referring to?? Owning a powerful car is simple, you give it a clean in the morning, tinker about with it for a bit, insert yourself in there, plough it down the road, really work the gear knob up and down to try all speed settings, quick shortcut up the back alley to the gas station, stick the big long pipe in the hole, fill it up, come back and chill out... Am I missing anything?

Yup, but like I said, not going there. Interested in seeing this thread getting back on track.

No-one has any humour here..
