Must have had something up with it Nick... my TDV8 (with standard map) knocked the spots off my TDV6 D3 (with BAS MAP).. and now it's mapped I just grin like an ejit... trouble is I'm forever overtaking stuff...  RRS gone

[quote="gilford"]There's nigh on 100bhp and 3secs difference 0-60, plus 200nM of torque

I would say the one you test drove may have been a pig [/quote

i think those figures are a bit out unless you are comparing the 2.7. the 3.0 v6 figures are closer, although there may be over 200hp difference, the torque figures are 600nm compared to 625 for the 5.0 supercharged which means in gear times shouldnt be that different

We are talking about the 2.7 Dave, I believe the 3.0 is a lot better, although I would still plump for the TDV8 for the extra grunt and V8 noise

When I got my HST a few friends thought it was the SC after a few drive byes, it was only when it was ticking ove they thought it was a diesel

gilford, to be honest ive never driven the v8, when i looked at the brochure, the torque figures for the new jag 3.0 v6 and the v8 were almost identical, so didnt see the need for the v8 personally, i only do about 10000 miles a year, so the difference in fuel is only about a fiver a week so wasnt an issue - i had heard that the jag engine was a cracker, so plumped for that!
cheers
