Title: mv6 nova
Post by: hoofing it on 19 March 2010, 18:58:54

Was at my local tip today and a H reg nova pulled up behind me burbling away.
on a closer look it had only 2 front seats the rear seats are now where the battery and roll cage are and yes a 3.2 under the hood [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=lolk.gif].
we couldn't chat much as we were told to get a move on >:( but it sounded lovely.
when I asked him how much it cost the answer was 5k plus :o he has lots of fun with scoobys and other fast cars as he said a cheeta in sloths clothing ;D ;D

You'll need a good pair of pants to take a blast in that. ;D

they would be narrower than an XE to put in but pretty tight at the back.
i would imagine it would be a lot heavier as well
still sounds cool though 8-)

Very little difference in weight when compared to the XE....you have an extra head and 2 more pistons but the crank is shorter...
