Does look like a top motor, the turbo rims look very cool.

I kind of agree with Steve tho on this one, fair enough you've done it to be different. But other small engines have far more potential.

That 6pot motor does look cool in there tho

Bit of an update
Went on a rolling road day with Migweb today and managed an impressive 207bhp which is a good result over the standard figures which are 167bhp a good gain of 40bhp on an exhaust system and 3litre cams

Before Steve tells you the rolling road is wrong, Vauxhall V6s normally make more power than quoted, I've seen 3 litre Omegas make 240bhp ish.

207bhp and the noise will mean a very nice car, get some vids

3 litre cams have a better profile than the 2.5 litre ones, that's what got used in the Vectra ST200, which made "192"bhp, then Vauxhall used them in the Vectra GSI, to get the same

Corsa exhaust flows better than a Cavalier one and presumably has no cat

Vauxhall V6s NEVER make as little as Vauxhall quoted to start with, so a 167bhp starting point isn't right anyway.

That's where the extra power came from.

Calibra is standard.

Not really sure what you getting at mate. Calibra made hust over standard figures and is stock. Mine made more as had modifications to up BHP. Wots there not to get here

Surely if rollers out on my run everyone elses will be out.
