What are they slow? 8 secs to 60 aint bad.. most hot hatches are only 0.5 secs off that..! VTS, 106, etc..

not all about that though, for a start the fuel consumption in one of them will be ridiculous, and if a hothatch is performing better with a 1.6 litre lump in then people are gonna go for that.
also the the characteristics of the v6 lump means in gears, especially low gears will be very sluggish

A Lighten flywheel will sort that, but yeah i know what u mean... just baffles me that a RWD 200 BHP V6 isn't modded more just because its big.. do u not agree?

They must drift well as the commodore does... plus cheap as chips, would love to nick the running gear for something else smaller, vectra or calibra... but i know its difficult..

i wouldnt mind one, ive also wondered why they dont seem to be popular. top spec ones are going really cheap at the mo and they cant be to bad if the pm seems to get driven in one more than jags etc.. wouldnt mind a carlton gsi 3.0 either

Mystery Machine (formally V6 Elite) off here had one
Not so quick off the mark but once going fuck mine it was quick.
This has lairy cams, headwork, enlarged TB and full exhaust and decat and a few other choice mods and it was Evil 
When you hit 135 in Medway tunnel with plenty of beans to go you know your in a quick car!
Quite underated I do like them. The police wouldnt of used the V6 ones if they were toilet would they?

yes, but the police also use evos, volvos and the likes and majority of them arnt standard anyways
But aye i agree, shouldnt use the police to dertimine what a good car is - but then on the other hand, they wouldnt use the V6 if it was shite slow
