Someone I know has an MV6 auto saloon. It runs well and is the same year as mine (1999)its got a 3.0 auto. I've got a 2.5v6 estate with a manual box. Since I replaced the TPS and adjusted the throttle cable, its felt really quick. In fact, to me it feels quicker than his slush box. We were on a quiet section of the A45 and happen to pull alongside each other so we gunned it (legally of course) niether one of us could pull away from the other. In the end, I chickened out because I'm not a racer. I checked the performance stats and  it reckons mine does 0-60 in 8.2 and the MV6 is 8.0. I think that mine would be quicker on the twisty bits too so I'm throwing down the question, what do we think is the quickest. (Excluding the police issue 3.2 manual)

Probably a bit silly (but it was 4 in the morning)I've had my 2.6 MV6 up 145 Mph 

Supposedly 3mph optimistic throught the complete range (electronically driven by pulses from ABS sensors on rear half shafts) unless you have non-standard wheels fitted.....

My GLS was showing an indicated 120 mph in 3rd (Auto) when it passed a volvo T5 on a private test track, the light box lit up and told me to slow down as I was doing 118 mph. The T5 was stationary.
