2.2 POWER (or lack of)
« on: 25 April 2010, 20:39:44 »
Was a passenger in the Useless Student's car earlier.  I thought he was just driving like Miss Daisy, as he does normally.  Nope, turns out he was flooring it off the roundabouts ;D ;D

I know what you mean. I find it frustrating also when
joining motorways and maintaining speed on inclines without having to give it some proper wellie.

The 4 pots are ok but, you have to work them.

The V6 has lots of low down torque where as the 4 pot needs to be over 4K!

Thats the thing.

The superb torque delivery profile of the V6 spolis us 6 pot owners as it pulls from 1000rpm to the red line, the 4 pots need a little more encouragement.

Encouraging driving and a Tunnie at the pedals? (snigger)

i actually fancy buying a 2.0 and dropping a "c20LET" in it
  i think that would go well.
shame the engine costs more than the car would

Oh ha ha!

Actually i very rarely rev it over 4k, maybe once a month?  ;D

I regularly switch between the 3.0 and the 2.2's and 4 pots are no slouch, suits my needs as sits at 80 on motorway just as good as a V6  :)

I do however notice the weight of LPG, 74L + tank makes performance tad sluggish  ;D

Just makes me cunning though its not all about power on a commute  ;)
