[s-cars] of VR6s and V6s

[Paul Friedenberg]

Speaking about the Nissan 3.5 v6:

It may be smooth but;

As posted a couple of weeks ago, I was able to hang with a 350z down I-5 in
seattle while driving my pops '98 A6 2.8q. I was dissapointed with the Z's
power, it was faster, but up around 110-130mph I was just cruising behind
him- at basically the same speed. Apparently those cars are limited to 130
also. 200hp vs 285ish doesn't make sense, but maybe it's gearing, the tip
might be better at higher speeds. BTW I think the guy in the 350 got
arrested, we blew by a cop at around 120, and since the Z was in front, the
cop pulled him over. THe cop probably saw the Z fly by, and then a Melange
A6, decided to pull over the Z because why would a Audi be going that fast??
Downhill? Tailwind?? :)

Taka- please don't argue with me about the 350:A6 race, ask my little sis.
No video unfortunately... Just scared the shit out of me, she's used to my
antics though...
