It has to be good for a 14.0 quarter, 13.8 0-100 which would mean 0-60 in about 6.

The slicks will help a lot, think its a bit silly to go to all this trouble and not to get a diff, with the amount of torque you be running, even more so when on gas, it will be a monster to control, and you wont be able to use the slicks on the road!



Miles I was talking about a 2.0L corsa.

whatever


Errr come on then sherlock, tell me how then?

0-60 will be slower, V6 engines are not meant for bottom end, then are a cc engine based for motorway miles. Once they get up to speed it'll pass a redtop, but a redtop corsa will do 135-140, a V6 will hardly do much more than that.

Beside, Beardy assumes a V6 is a redtop

Take your boyracer comments and go back to the carpark fool.


Even the very lowest spec V6 produces 20% more torque and significantly more power than the red top. Do the maths Daimo and don't be so fcuking arrogant

I suspect he cannot do the maths or even the home econmics either

what a lot of you dont seem to realise is a v style engine has so much more torque its unreal my rvf 400 is a v4 and up against a fzr 4oo (inline 4) mine will pull away till the top end when the inline 4 starts to work for its self

remember its torque that pulls not bhp

No - the biggest factor in torque in most normally aspirated production engines is capacity. The V6 has more torque than the 2.0L redtop mainly because it's a 2.5L engine (hint - 2.5 is bigger than 2.0)

V configuration can make things smoother especially at high revs
