I do have a soft spot for the Facelift Vectra B. I've met the bloke who owns that, quite a name among the forums...

You'll get to know the dude at Shell very well.. Tongue

Had one about 6-7 years ago now, Paid 8.5k for it! Was financial ruin for me TBH lol Swallowed money constantly until snapped its belt and I sold it spare/repair for a massive loss. They sound awesome though, and will sit at 150+ all day on a private runway.

I dont anymore i sold it and then bought the bianca 6 ! It was a lovely car so nice to drive but it got broken into a couple times windows smashed Sad so had to get rid ! Its not to everyones taste but even people who hated vectras up to face thought it looked smart! Inside it was something special aswell! All underneath it was sprayed yellow! So msd did spend a bloody long time on it! Think it looked pretty awesome all the other msd spec ones have white engines!

Had the ( very rare) estate version a few years back, absolutely stunning motor, looked and sounded awesome, but anything over 2.5k rpm soon got me on first name terms with the shell cashier lol. tBut gotta agree, they CAN look good.

Yeah estate msds were very rare! They drink fuel though unless you go long distance! When stop stArting in town it rinsed the fuel! Had a stupid chip though which messed with the fuel consumption Sad

What power do these make then?

Also isn't the whole point of a V6 the noise and smooth delivery, rather than just loads of power.... That said, my PD Golf was more powerful than Dads Mondeo V6...and done 3 times as many MPGz too, the noise and delivery isn't worth that much extra cost lol. lol

I duno research it lol lol

Think its around 192bhp could be wrong! The 2.6 was 170somin! But more torque? God noes! I very rarely drove it like a loon i was 7months pregnant lol !!

167bhp? That's exactly the same as the Mondeo one I think! Confused Obviously same as a '6 as well....wonder why they're all the same, cant be coincidence surely.

192bhp isn't bad for though tbh.
