Are you happy with your "mature driving" choice? :D
Thanks for posting it up. :2thumb:
Edit: Just read it, didn't realise the 6 MPS was such a porker! 1639kg?! Always love seeing the rolling start performance figures from the MPS's also, they briefly mention it but buried in the performance figures are the awesome numbers which set the MPS series cars apart from the rest.
Mps 6 ftw
i read this article at my docs wouldnt mind this magazine but can't justify spending $15 on ebay for it :whistle:
the liberty is so bland and boring :headbang:
I can't remember how many times I read that article before buying my MPS. It wasn't that I needed convincing, just driving the 2 back to back is enough to show which is the torque monster.
Thanks for posting it up. I've lost my magazine and have searched all over for the article.
Thanks for the post of this :)
Very happy with my Mature Driving Choice, I feel so mature when I utilise the rolling acceleration in 3rd :D
You're welcome everyone, this is my favourite Wheels issue, 2nd is when they previewed the MPS6 in Japan (can post this too!) and 3rd is the MPS3 Gen I review :woot:
yeah, I remember that review as well. But I bought mine before they release that magazine. :)
I knew I made the right choice.
Good article. I tell ya, Nice to find an article in a Wheels or Motor mag that shows things properly. Apparently the VE and FG XR6 and SV6's are quicker than the GEN II 3 MPS.... according to a new 'magazine' article. :P
Interesting about the comment the above article regarding the 6MPS made to do wiith the 0-100kph time... max kph out of 2nd is 84kph so a 3rd gear change is needed to get the magic 100kph mark.. instead of normally only 1 change. ( or none, in a nice ratio auto lol)
Yeah my beast is a little on the heavy side, more incentive for me to stay trim! However the new GT-R is 1780kgs, so really the MPS 6 is light in comparison just needs a lot more horsepower :p
XR6 and SV6 may be quicker but they're also heavier, Gen II MPS 3 would have them on the track, and our MPS 6's would too :D
yeap mps wins over lib anyday
Nice review
Very nice.. thanks for that :)... MPS owns hehe
Thanks for posting that up! I've been looking for it everywhere, but to no avail. :2thumb:
For the new members looking to buy a 6 MPS or have just bought one, this article is a good read :)
