    Dear Lee db,

    Please read this:
    http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20197

    And think very very very carefully. My V6 Sport feels like a granny with a walking stick in comparison even if the kickdown button as you discovered is pressed.

    Even up to this day I still have the imprint of wojies seat on my backside without that kickdown button!

    Period.

    Heh! The V6 is a fast car. It's probably in the fastest 10% of cars on the road. The VR4 however is probably in the top 5%, and with a few mods probably in the top 2%.

    The V6 is a good compromise for people who want a different family car with affordable running costs. The VR4 is for people who don't mind being done over at every fuel station they pass!

    im counting on it! there are fuel protests all over the place on july 19th. im planning to organise one in scotland that i want to lead. i would definately stand out in Kamals car AND its quick (according to what i have read)

    i have done some interweb comparisons. some results are surprising. take the lexus (LS?)200. 0 - 62 is only 2 tenths of a second quicker than the GLS at 9.5. the V6 galant is listed as getting there in 8.2 seconds. excluding the special editions (st, VXR etc) there arent many family saloons that would stand up to that
