Nah, put a 4.2V8 or 2.7BiTurbo in the back!! You could then use the space left in the enigne bay to carry your "rockin" partner's hand bag!

Default What a difference a turbo or 2 makes...

I've been keeping a log, as I did with the S8, and so far it looks like I'm getting around 25% better fuel consumption in the '6 with comparable driving, and I'm hoping for a bit more after a remap. Just goes to show what a difference a couple of turbos makes...depending on how you drive of course

Due to needing to make a quick run Plymouth to edinburgh I filled both petrol and gas yesterday refilling with petrol after 230miles (about what i get on a tank of gas). From that I found it cost 28.6ppm on Vmax and 19.1ppm on gas. I'm currently doing aprox 3.5k a month!
