keep 16v or buy vr6

[Len]

When I drive mine hard and that rev limiter hard then I get 28/29 mpg.

Speaking as someone who has had both i say get the VR6.

Cost me £10 more a week to run than my old valver, was a hell of alot faster and when you sort out the suspension and run good tyres it will handle just aswell as a sorted 16v.

Plus a VR has alot more tuning potential...all be it expensive but still, £1500 can get the vr lump supercharged which would give you 260bhp or for another grand you can have over 300bhp and a turbo!

I think most people that have actually had both would choose the vr.

And tbh, the difference in weight between 2 members on this forum, is probably equal to the difference in engine weights. Its not going to be that much more.

Strange, i get less than that if i drive my 8v hard. Like 20mpg or less.

So either your car is reading wrong, or your definition of hard isnt that hard. lol.

No, just stating a fact/opinion. Which it seems other forum members agree too.

Either way, take away the narrow minded forum members, and the VR6 is a better car than the 16v every day of the week, no matter the weather.

Hence why it is faster... More powerful, has a bigger engine, and a bigger insurance group, and a better reputation. Its the more powerful version.

This member asked for which has better performance. The answer is the VR6.

I cant see how people can say its not the best option? lol

Are you going to arrest Len when you become a copper?
