yes you would then proceed to try to race me outside of the track, you would then get pulled over by the police for illegal tires and i would drive by laughing

all i can go off a the moment it the V6 in scotland as there isent that many so couldent even say its fast or not.
scotland V6 did mid 14's (and dont know what your 106 is on the 1/4)
as for 0-60 non timed so could tell you BUT i raced my mate in his 2lt 16v corsa in the Camels Ear and we sat side by side till i hit mid 2nd and i started pulling away...

Ok.
So, If u race another car, u see him struggling for grip to start off with, but he then flies past u at 50mph like u were stationary........does that mean ur faster? No, it means 0-60, 0-100, 0-140, 40-80, 50-90 etc etc U'RE SLOWER.

if craigPCG can do 13.8 in a turbo with as much traction as me (i may even have more as of weight of engine and no hitting NOS with mid 2nd) then should easy be below 15

yes we'l have to wait and see, i dont see the point in going for all that power in sumthing thats not designed for that much power and is only running fwd, would you not be better off trying to convert it to 4wd, then it really would be a weapon?

i wanted to just to be differant really and i love the V6 sound
4wd is alittle to much work for even me
Next on this list for the engine is 3lt bottom end, and SAAB 9000 runs the same C25XE engine and Loom (Cav loom all the plugs have the SAAB logo on) and there single turbo'ed aswell, so manifold and turbo unit should fit, will have a go of that next, need to look into it alot more beofre starting that project
3lt V6 turbo Corsa with NOS
