Nice looking cars but very underpowered. V6's should be 2.5 minimum IMO. I'm looking at Toyota altezza's for next year. Import version with 200bhp 4pot yamaha engine.
Better than the Punto anyhow

looks alright that does.did you open the bonnet when you brought it Barry? cos their a straight 6 not a v6! .
Liking it Barry, I'm another that's got a soft spot for these, sister in laws old man has got the 3.0l with a janspeed stystem and it sounds wicked. Used to love these when they was in the btcc back in "01 season.
Oh and agreeing with phil there inline 6 I'm sure of it.
But yeah defo good choice there Barry!!
Always been a fan of these.
Altezza has a Toyota engine developed with Yam, rev to 10k apparently? Do many get imported to the UK?
There's a couple of guys on sxoc that have them. I'm seriously thinking about one, as doubt realistically gonna afford an evo.
There's also one in dartford
