vr6storm 0 Posted August 6, 2004 any twisties involved?.......if its just a straight traffic light grand prix.........my money is on the alfa i'm afraid to say :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted August 6, 2004 My money would be firmly in my pocket - it's obvious that when the two cars are pretty close (like this), it totally comes down to the driver... and more how hard he's prepared to push his car than how "good" he is...

Scott 0 Posted August 6, 2004 Straight line grand prix and couple of roundabouts involved..... Well I am a more 'experienced driver' on the limit :lol: I have also had my VR6 nearly 3yrs... he has had the GTV about 2 months :lol: We'll see.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scott 0 Posted August 7, 2004 Well it was pretty simple.... he had me on the first straight / bypass by about one car length but to be fair he started accelerating first.... got to the next roundabout and I was level with him - gunned it through the gears side by side... got to 90+ and I started pulling ahead... only just I might add but he admitted it was a fair win... :lol: He was also going hell for leather :lol: I know for a fact from being a experience corrado vr owner for example to keep them on the boil you shift up at 6k rpm rather than take it to the red line... I suspect the Alfa was red lining in each gear loosing him some time perhaps.. I dont know but to be honest although it was a win there was really nothing in it.... So its a fair comparison / match when head to head.... even the figures on paper are similar although the GTV has 20bhp more am told... What he was surprised his £10k motor didnt blow me away :lol: Wait till I get that engine rebuild ......... :shock: Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
