Where did the paddles go?

[V8mate]

Fantastic!

I've got the Mk2 3.6 V6 4x4 estate and would love to give it some additional oomph (and noise).

Seems to be very little in the way of performance products, e.g. exhaust systems, for the car on the market though. A few offering generic remaps.

If anyone's got any pointers to companies who offer stuff in the UK, I'd be interested.

Still there, just did not add the extenders this time

Ah, that makes sense. Great car, I had a B8 Superb as a rental for two weeks in Sweden and it was great. Only a FWD diesel mind, but it had so much space and lots of toys.

you need to relocate the radar detector to above the rearview mirror for much better detection
it's way to low there

Will look into that, thanks for the tip!

What detector are you running ?

I'm running a V1 which I do need to refit to this current car

[MrHappy]

As a family man myself there's lots of food for thought here. I think it's awesome. Well played!

[anonymous-user]

Sort of missing the point I know but given the parameters of performance, good looks and family comfort, I'd still sink my money into a Jag XFR. With a simple pulley change and a filter it will make 600hp and provide a great V8 soundtrack. The 8sp ZF gearbox is brilliant also.

[TheAngryDog]

Awesome machine! The Superb is a good looking car as well (as is the older Octavia before they split the lights). I do like Skodas from this century.

I wouldn't mind one of these, but not sure I could give up a V8 soundtrack though.

With 600+ this will be stupid fast

[amancalledrob]

People expect a Jag to go fast, though. It's not exactly a sleeper

Looked onto 3.6 options a year or two ago when I was toying with buying one. Speak to REVO, it's basically a passat R 36 engine, they can get it up to about 300 brake.

Great work op.

Great job! Suprising the tuning these can take.

That is absolutely epic, 3 seconds 0-60, that's well into supercar territory. Well done!

Traffic light GP... ta-tah!

Tailgaters... be gone!

What a sleeper.

[foxbody-87]

I love sleepers. Yes, it would require less work to buy a C63 or an XFR, but some people enjoy the process almost as much as driving the car.
Plus as someone has said, you an expect a C63 to go fast. A sleeper has a fun factor and can't be obtained by throwing money at a car dealer.
