And has bags of torque, and a great soundtrack from the V6 exhaust, maybe not as deep as the V8 but still raises a smile on peoples faces as you drive past.


Yes but a musical friend of mine gave a good simile , he likened the V8 to the full orchestra , but the V6 to being a couple of sections short.

The torque of the V6 is there , but you have to work for it and rev it more , the V8 produces it from lower down the rev range. The V6 Aero Racing challenge cars always face problems getting them off the line compared to the V8s.



Interesting, different people's perceptions.......I can pottle around in 5th gear at 1000rpm in my S2 and it will pick up cleanly. In fact it has so much torque low down that trying to pull away on a hill start without spinning the wheels is almost an impossibility.
