I'd been told that mine would really give a V6 a run for its money.. but as reported the way to drive them both is completely different and they both gives feelings of speed in different ways...

you get a thump or torque in a derv, but you run out of revs that you dont in a petrol, and the 4000-redline in the v6 you will not ever reproduce in the derv.. and it will be deceptively fast, holding the gear for longer would mean that you gain a lot of 'time' if you are on the strip in a straight up race.
