Going the other way at a roundabout locally, spun round and followed it for a closer look... He over took a car and buggered off. 

I caught him up later though  8-) stuck behind another car. 

Bloody quick, but looked a bit lumbering in a twisty section. :-/

A tidy example though, by the looks.

Basically similar suspension setup, though who knows how old it is. Yours, with brand new springs/shocks shoud be (and is) tight as a tight thing in the bends


Edit so as not to cause offence

What do they put out? 350? Considerably more than mine for sure.   

...and offense? What did he say? Anyone see?

Rather have a vxr8 any day. But for it's age, very impressive.

Wonder what would happen to a v6 if someone tried to extract  377bhp and 420lbs/ft from one ??

Done properly, like the 3.6, probably not a lot

you sure ? ................wouldnt cooling be the first of your worries ? :-/

Potentially, though done properly, this would be modified as required

Always had the impression that there wasnt much point tuning the v6, as it was difficult to get much more power from it. :-/

would likely break or overheat or spew coolant or leak oil .............

And the 3.6 never spews oil and coolant from its HG, does it....... 

If there was the desire by the manufacturer, or a *proper* tuning company (ie, not the likes of the retards at Courtney and similar), I'm sure both S6 and V6 could be encouraged to (realatively) reliably give that sort of power.  Downside of V6, not sure how much you could increase the cc with that block, though it would need a new crank anyway....


...but probably cheaper to through an off-the-shelf v8 in
