Thanks mate, i don't really know in all fairness, never raced one or even driven one for that matter, would be interesting to see how it faired up against one.

I'd be suprised unless it's tuned, once rolling my ZS180 is close to my T16 maestro and considerably quicker than Mrs TC's ZR160 VVC on a straight drag.

Hi, I also just joined this site and have just finished (yesterday) fitting the vvc head to my ZS, also I live in Birmingham. Small world hey :P Really clean looking motor you got there, nice neat conversion too, all done yourself? Looks like you've had it on a rolling road by the pics, would you mind posting the graphs? Mine's blue with a few white stripes, must admit they do look rather fetching in XPG though!!

Thanks for the welcome, ayee nothing wrong with the hatch lol, im from Birmingham..no doubt theres some ZS owners this way too..
As for future plans im hoping for a custom manifold, full exhaust with dual exits and maybe a 270 piper exhaust cam and Z&F Remap.

Will be interesting to see what it does with all that lot it will deffo be quicker than a 180 then,and having driven the vvc and my own 180 I would say there isn't a hell of a lot in Pete.very different power delivery but damn quick.

I'm thinking that the lighter vvc would offset the extra bhp of a v6.
