Re: Do we really need 300kw/500nm+ for a daily driver?
kids love wife picking them up from school in our vy. They love the way it "sneezes", lol.
It is so easy to drive in traffic and until you put foot down you would not even know its modded. Only real give away is the magnafuel pump is a little loud.
And when you want or "need", you have 530 rwkws at your disposal...

If we're getting down to details we don't "need" anything more than a horse and kart
Re: Do we really need 300kw/500nm+ for a daily driver?
I get by with 132Kw & 138Nm without too many problems .
Re: Do we really need 300kw/500nm+ for a daily driver?
With a car weighing 500kg less I'd probably be happy with less power actually...
Re: Do we really need 300kw/500nm+ for a daily driver?
310rwkws, manual VE, the wife uses it as a daily driver now we have 2 infants, we have 05 Corolla but we feel the VE is safer for the kids so the Corrolla will soon find a new home.

Re: Do we really need 300kw/500nm+ for a daily driver?
nothing wrong with having a fast daily :)
nothing worse than pulling out in traffic thinking "go u piece of shit" redlining it and smashin gears just to get upto traffic speed, or having to sit at a T-Junction for ages cos U KNOW your car aint quick enough to get in that gap that coming up... lol

Drove my 383 8tb for a few weeks to work and everywhere else just after I got it built. 380 rwkw $1500 in fuel.. Back in shed it went. :(
Re: Do we really need 300kw/500nm+ for a daily driver?
No of course not but life is too short to drive slow shitboxes if quick cars are your passion ;)

You're describing my work truck right there, the missus get to drive our VE SS around all day and I'm stuck with a 155hp 3.5 tonne Transit van dammit.

Re: Do we really need 300kw/500nm+ for a daily driver?
