Thread: V6 Hilux

  1. #1

    Default V6 Hilux

    Hi everyone,

    Lets just say I got a shock the other day from a set of lights when I took off fast and a new V6 Hilux kept up with me side by side until i slowed down to stay legal. It wasn't a TRD one either, just some plumber. I was mortified ! I told a friend and they said they've got 200 kw or something !
    I need a faster car now ... and a reality check.

    Anyone else been unpleasantly suprised?

    they have less kw and less torque and a heap more weight.

    I did not want to make my point that obvious.

    they arent that bad off the lights but racing to 60 in our cars is a waste of time. Bring on 3rd and 4th gear

    The BT will take most things to 60kms. It has 400nm at 2k rpm, but once it gets quicker than 60 i wave goodbye
