Nerih 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 porche cayanne is also prolly an auto, SHIT loads of porche engine under the hood, HUGE breaks, MASSIVE amounts of torque (AND ITS 4WD with launch control so it will go faster than a nasa rocket of the pad) - its gotta have huge amounts of torque its a MASSIVE car, never EVER try to race a cayenne turbo, its like racing a non aspirated porche road car....(i.e 911t)...The topgear review on tele shouldve given you a heads up.rule of thumb, anything that looks expensive (be glad your £5000 car can actually give a modest run for its money, compared with something that is almost new and costs upwards of £70K), big, black and says turbo on it..stay away. becuase its going to be vr meat .

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Six Appeal' date=' how do you get 205BHP from a vr6? Chip, induction, full ss exhaust (cat bipass?)...info on yer car would be great..[/quote']Nerih, I'm running similar figures to six appeal, 210BHP 205lb ft - It's called spending a over a grand on a schrick inlet manifold, DasTek ECU, BMC CDA and looking after my engine. at the end of the day, it depends how healthy your engine is.

anorak 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hmmm....recommend you PM Anorak as he is the proud new owner of my S/c Golf - I'll let him tell you!MinaSo far just a Boxster (standard one I think - not the 'S')But then I wasn't really trying and left it in 4th gear from 40mph.I could get used to this Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 hehe the boxter s has 250 bhp unless im mistaken so u would annihalate 1 id pay to see the look on the guys face Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 i was under the impression that the normal boxters was more like 180bhp...and prey for a standard vr6.put it this way, i was giving it some against one on the motorway a while back, and it wasn't pulling away in fcat i was gaining...obviously its impossible to know how much they're going for it...but it certainly looked like it was flat out.[ Edited Wed Sep 29 2004, 05:38PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
Macca 1 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Lowest boxster has about 200bhp, and the tiptronic is about the same 0-60 as a manual Vr.Highest spec has about 270bhp and about 5.5 0-60Cayenne turbo has 450bhp and also about 5.5 0-60Stattooooooo Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 i love the way a car less than 5000 can whup a porche (doesnt matter which one were talking about, its the marque that is important)...go tell the dealer, the volkswagen beat the porche . Link to post Share on other sites

saml666 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Just joined so a bit late on this thread, my VR6 is std at present but 180bhp Audi TT's are fun to beat, likewise the lesser boxsters. I worked for a guy who got one when first released, very embarassed that my "tired old golf" fully whipped it up the dual carriageway I also drive a VR6 killer... Its THE shi**y-est brown ugliest fibreglass piece of 70's crap you ever saw - a Reliant Scimitar... BUT... It has a 4.6 litre V8 turning out about 280 bhp and torque from idle to the rev limit. It hasn't been beaten by an Evo, Impreza or anything like that yet since even a 350bhp turbo engine only makes that power for a short time before a gear change is required, the V8 just pulls and pulls. Much like the difference between a 170bhp vr6 and 180bhp turbo. More to it than peak power numbersIts a laugh a minute - looks horrific, very rough paintwork and fast as hell. Still not fast enough though The VR6 is up for attention now though, getting the susp sorted first, followed by some engine tlc and then maybe the usual supects, manifolds, cams, supercharger?Cheers, Sam Link to post Share on other sites
