Gaz6002 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 V6 engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 V6 engine Where does it say that???? Can't see a reference to V6 any where. The Blue UK car belongs to the journo's dad so he would not get stuff like that wrong. Still they do print stuff that you would rather they did not, they asked how much power mine would put out next year and |I believe I said it has the potential to put out around 1400 with a big nitrous kit and 3 bar of boost at 9000 rpm on race fuel, still at least they invited us to Bruntingthorpe after christmas!!!!

Miguel Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Just bought the mag and in general the article is pretty good. Some of the bold claims and technical aspects did make me chuckle though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 An interesting article, just bought the mag and read it. Dude, V6? Really? Are you and Matt swapping names via deed poll? Also liking the article of the Tokyo motorshow just before it. The new '86 is growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
