Im wondering what other people's views are on whether you think 240KW is more then enough or you want more from the turbo? Interested to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the XR6 has enough of both for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't a company lease, I'd have gone N/A 'cause it's a nice ride.The 240kw of the turbo will, I'm sure be quite enough for me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were times when my WRX felt gutless....I have been lucky enough to be involved with rallying. The more power you have trhe better you could balance the car. I spent an hour the other day in a M3 SMG... Its got 252KW. It was fantastic. we went up a really steep hill in Sydeny's north and it felt like ot needed more.....On the other hand it stops better than any car I have been in except WRC cars I have been in. Bring on 300.......regardsDallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no argument that it's not enuff for everybody. Just that it's enough for some of us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only mod l may consider is the exhaust.In three years time l reckon l should be able to buy a 300kw turbo 6 running a 6 speed manual from FPV. Until then, l am more than satisfied with my car.

AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 22y 30d Posted 26/12/02 11:51 AM Share Posted 26/12/02 11:51 AM Well being used to large motorcycle type performance - I think I'd like to unleash a little more than 240 - if it is not dear enough and still reliable. Also, I plan on keeping the car more than three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
