Looks ace mate, nice buy, engine looks spotless. So, tell us, what's it like compared to the 8v? will the 8v beat it thanks to it's torque?  :grin: :grin: :grin:

It's close Mate.....you would not believe how close  :grin: :grin:

Welcome to the world of the Vr6 noise!  :cool:

After jumping from an 8v to a VR6 too, i appreciate the difference!  :grin:

Also becareful in the wet, mine wheel spins in 1st, 2nd and 3rd! That's at less then half throttle in 1st too!  :sad: That's where your 8v will come in handy  :wink:

I dunno mate, when i first got my 8v after driving an escort  :lipsrsealed: for a while I was wheel spinning out of every junction! I was surprised about how easily it did it, got embarassing after a bit! I think Ive tamed the beast now though. :grin: :lipsrsealed:

Looks wicked Deano  :cool:

I've been eyeing up these recently, but the insurance is too much for me at the moment, guess i'll have to wait a few years  :cry:

I love the engine note, so so nice  :smiley:

looks very nice.  I had one years ago, after wanting one for ages, but didn't enjoy it at all.  Each to their own and all that.
