[quote][i]Originally posted by SetH[/i] You want a 99 model onwards if possible, This is when lotus redesigned the suspension. handling on Vectras is awful in general. The 2.5V6 Has 170bhp and 1701b/ft torque. In gear acceleration is pretty good and it has a nice fat powerband. However the engine is quite unresponsive at low revs as it has a 15kg flywheel!. Forget 1st gear acceleration it does not exist :lol: THe power delivery is very smooth but these engines lack punch. I timed a few 30-70 through gears in low 7`s. One thing the V6 vectra is good at is motorway cruising, it is effortless and the car will reach silly speeds above 100 quite easily. To give the car a better pick up and make it a bit more punchy the following mods are essential. Remap > nasty flat spot around 3k revs Injector clean Air box and induction rework > designed to be very quiet to eliminante induction roar, easy to mod. Performance high flow filter Reworked high flow throttle body and inlet centre section 4 bar fuel pressure regulator Lightened Flywheel 2.5 (9 kg reduction) The only difference between the V6Sri and V6Gsi is that the Gsi uses the exhaust cams from the 3.0 omega giving it an extra 20 bhp.
