R32 is a great looking beast and has a lot of grunt but just too damn heavy. a fat lass under 1500kg is always heavy no matter what the power. that engine is huge and heavy too and they understeer like a pig if you ask me. tax kills them these days.
VR6 had the same problem.
makes a lush engine note though  :smiley:

Ebay have a few in stock :wink:

Doubt there is any new ones left? But if you can afford a brand new vr6 engine then a fully rebuilt one would cost considerably less
