I was considering moving to a ZS180, from my tuned ZS derv.

James Raby very kindly let me drive his lovely motor, but i wasn't convinced enough, to make the change.

Yes, the derv doesn't have the growl of the V6, but the V6 doesn't have that kick in the back of the head that my derv has. Ok, my ZS derv isn't standard, running around the 155bhp figure, and 240ftlb torque.

Either of the standard power levels can be tuned to the same figure, around the 155bhp mark. The 115bhp version, does have a flat spot at around 3K rpm, so i would get the 100bhp version personally.

Test drive a tuned derv, then make a decision.

If you're ever around Peterborough, pop up to one of our area meets, and have a trip out in mine

Cheers
Dave
