Thought I'd share this one : Just had a sensible race with one of the 3 R32s in Hobart out on the highway. Both blasted from 60km/h to about highway speed - gotta love the instant torque of the R32. I was rolling along in 4th at about 2000rpm and Mr R32 sat about 2 car lengths behind me turning off onto the highway. Not a fan of "dragging" every car on the road, I decided to ignore him until the gap became half a car length... Proceeded to select 2nd gear and continue along slowly at about 4000rpm. I pull over into left lane and hear fruity narrow-angle V6 rip through its very short gearbox. Proceed in planting accel. to floor, while R32 streaks ahead with tonnes of torque. Induction note changes at 5000 and R32 starts to get very close, 6,000rpm, side by side and PRICELESS look on R32 owners face, 8,000rpm, R32 falls behind, 3rd gear, R32 several car lengths back after head start .......maybe I shouldn't sell my car P.S. Sorry officer
A bit of a coincidence, I dissapointed a VR6 owner today! I love creeping up to 4000rpm in 2nd and then planting it.
Keep it old skool! I cant wait to start doing my 2l 16v now ive got the motor. Cant wait to shock a few people. Hopefully the way my car looks people wont be expecting it. Edited by: DuBDuDe
Not sure on a flywheel figure, it's been dynoed at 190atw but I'd say it's more like 180ish in reality. Still plenty to kill an R32
