    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>4.6ltr V8 = 380Nm & 150Kw
    [/b][/quote]

    Had to make a mention on this one :wink: Assuming we are talking the D3 V8, it is 220kw and 425Nm and is a 4.4. Obviously Drivesafe knows more about me on the fuel side of things, so thanks I wasnt aware of that component, though I have noticed it. If Im up for a bit of a "burl" i kick it over into the sequential thingy ( pick the non technical person :wink: ) and immediately it is ready for action, so I use it at the lights to woop someone or for overtaking especially if going up a hill. I have just dropped it in today for its 12000 k service ( ive only had it 3 mths 8O ) and fuel usage is averaging around 15.3/100km which for a V8 I think is pretty good. Since its been in for service Ive got the TDV6, I think S model, ie not all the bells and whistles that the HSE has got and I tell ya its a nice car, not the grunt of the V8 but perky, in hindsight Id almost have got the HSE TdV6.

    Also charliebrisbane, if you ever want to go head to head, give us a hoy 8) ,

    Regards

    I think Charliebrisbane has a P38 Rangie (2001), so has the last of the Buick/Rover V8 (not the BMW or Jag) engine from the late 1950/60s.

    He was playing with a 4.0ltr V6 D3 (the old Ford Cologne engine from the '60s).

    Sounds like a vintage car rally really

    Hey Kimba considering all the new technology around the 4.6 is starting to look a bit old hat, but a vintage car rally thats really below the belt!!!!

    Hey Noddy,

    I just realised that re reading it that you were referring to the p38, I misread and thought you were talking about the D3 V8 and its specifications. When its at full wail you can feel the 220kw .

    Regards

    Stevo

    Stevo I think I'll have to get a supercharger before I go head to head with you the D3 V8 has just a bit too much go for the RR2. Besides I dont want to be beaten by a lowly discovery anyway. HEHE!

    I like the old stuff, don't get me wrong! Agree, it was a bit cheeky though

    Those two engines are probably two of the most successful engines of the last 50 years. Both Rover/BMC/LR/MG and Ford have done very well out of those engines.

    Stevo, you and I have got to have a run.

    I’ve had a few runs against the wife's D3 and the RR has won every time but I would be interested in seeing how the RR goes against the D3 V8.

    I gave Outlaw and Camo a run last year after one of our meetings and I was surprised at how much faster both off the mark and get flight, the RR is.

    The RR is flash fast to about 60 kph and then you might as well take a packed lunch with you while it winds out to 100.

    The wife's D3 seems to accelerate evenly all the way to 100.

    Cheers

    BTW, I don’t use sports mode in either vehicle, cause I’m too lazy to move the stick. 8)

    Only time I take either Landy out of full auto is in hill decent, to assist in braking.
