Stock 1.8L BA hatch vs Stock V6 BA hatch

Pork Chop Express · 22-06-2006, 07:26 PM

The other day I was complimenting a V6 hatch, but my friend said they were not as good as my 1.8L..

I asked why? He said, the V6 was about 100kg heavier with only 12 more kW. The extra weight would cancel the additional 12kW.. I was content with that conclusion as I have the 1.8L!

I'm sure if I had the V6 I would jump to it's defense....

Last I spoke to anyone about this, the 1.8ltr had a few more things going for it but I don't remember what they were

Would be close i'd expect.

the v6 is just a comfort thing but id expect it to be able to put out more torque and also kisk in alot stronger

V6 ba Advantage in my eyes >>>>>Strut brace ,better sway bars,Refined suspension.fog lights,more air bags,premium sound system,alloys,,,.Silky smooth v6....

it also comes down to torque not just KW...v6 tends to be more

V6 is quicker. Not by much, but it is quicker. Maybe half a second over the 1/4 mile

And the weight difference is actually 70kg for manual, but over 100 for auto vs auto

Lets not forget the brakes are much bigger
20mm lerger rotors and 33% bigger pad area
ANd much better JDM engines additional 30hp
2 Airbags as standard fitment
(BTW anyone want mine??

)
Larger alloy wheels and tyres as stock (no bloody ugly stocker rims)
Larger front swaybar
Uprated rear suspension arms
Thats just some of it
