It should be a very noticeable tug at 3-4 revs. The difference between a knackered vis and a working one is quite a difference, bought another zs last year which had a knackered system and i couldn't believe the difference. Also the zs will be transformed with a few mods and come to life. be worth doing a back to back on two zs with a non working and a working. youd be quite shocked.

Think really that's the issue here.

When I came down and RRd "Red" it gave 146bhp - yours was 185+ IIRC. That's a huge difference in power let alone torque. I then replaced my vis motors and am sure it was stronger although didn't test it again.

My current car has been tested and working motors gave a RR of 184 and she just feels quick.

Bear in mind aswell that these guys in their Insignias etc are just booting it everywhere on a company fuel card and they are worth 10 times what our ZSs retail for. We have decent performance cars that outperform most if they are working properly
