Nah... I think he's referring to his new Facelift 2.5 ;)

my 2.5 is'nt keen on lighting up the rear end much in the dry,I put it down to extra weight of the estate and good grip from the toyo's on the back plus a lack of low end torque from the baby v6 :'(

It had new rear tyre on for the mot, I don't know what ones they are.

When I had my foot on the brake and the other on the go faster the revs would not go above 4k, or at least I think it was around 4k

The mv6 needs a bit of steering angle to provoke in the dry. The elite, with it's awful Michelin ps2 tyres is more than happy to light them up

If you can't light up a fwd you're really not trying.  :-X

Lower powered rear drivers need, in no particular order, a bootful of throttle, a clutch pedal and, optionally, some directional provocation. For an auto, a sharp change of direction, such as a mini round about, together with a bootful of throttle should do the trick. Best not tried at much over 15 mph though, Migs carry alot of weight  (and momentum) if it all goes pete tong. :)

Yep. ::) Upside: only needs glacial reaction times from the driver to correct it. Downside: takes a long time and lots of road to come back into line. ;D
