I would have thought ingear times on a near 300bhp NA V6 would be quite good?

Nope was an 06 ans he was definately trying! Gave me a knowing nod 
He's only got 30 extra ponds of Torque over me but nearly 150 extra BHP Been told when VRS's are run in they have more power than standard figs.
I remember Clarkson slating them when they first came out.
Strange.

You beat a 300bhp car in a diesel in 6th 
He's got more power and torque.
I would hazard on him not trying.

I believe you, 350Z aren't that great imo, and are bloody heavy.

Dosn't add up dose it Ian!
Must not have been trying but he sure as hell made it look like he was.You can't honestly know how quick my car is though when in 5th and 6th.I've owned 2 WRX's FFS and they were fast in the same region but the VRS is in a different league.
Thanks Matty

Apert from the shit i had with the dealer about the remap issue....
Hell yeah Like most cars it has things that can be improved on but overall yep 
Drove for 5 hours yesterday and loved every minute of it.The scooby would have needed filling up twice and would have given me a headache(or blown up).
My scooby never scared me with it's pace but the VRS has at least 3 times now the way the torque throws you down the road.

To be honest mate i'm not sure yet.
Had a big issue with it but have yet to have it checked out properley.It was meant to have been switched back off when sold to me.
It would explain a lot though! The MPG isn't as good as it could be so maybe

My mate's Dad has a vRS. Him and his Dad dont stop raving on about it andhow well it goes for what it is.
They have had it from new and its coming up to 3 years old now so wanting to get a new car. But they cant find anything that they like to replace it so are going to get another they love it.
