Sold my 8, bought a sweet Isuzu 4wd!!!!

Ok guys, so my situation changed and i needed something with a bit more torque, higher ground clearance and 4wd

So I bought this beautiful piece of engineering



It's an Isuzu Vehicross and has the infamous 3.5L V6

First thing I noticed, there was so much torque!!!! It's actually faster than my 8 was

The engine is amazing, the Isuzu V6 sounds like Jesus playing a magical harp made from the finest diamonds and rubies.

Was so worth it

yep that car looks like it has a lot of torque, you can tell by the chrome rims and the roof racks.

do you have any graphs of this torque?

Probably gets good mileage too and spins wheels from a rolling 2nd gear.

I always liked the Isuzu Vehicross, Rodeo & Amigo. I keep the 8 and got a XJ Jeep. I'm good on and off road.

Heres an idea : I heard someone wanted one of those isuzu v6s to swap into an RX8 . Why not swap engines with him ?
Put the renny in the Isuzu - Rotary powered 4wd FTMFW ! Sure to attract the rotary hoes from down your way !

Do you have a graph for the renny? The v6 has so much more torque though which i love.

Well literally a week after I bought the 8, I pulled the classiest rotary hoe ever. She would get wet when i hit aux ports

She's ******* furious I sold the 8, but at least i have a car which has more "torque: than she has

(torque=talk get it lol)

We don't get those big trucks here, they are un necessary. They have only just started selling F150's. We all use "Toyota Hilux" size trucks and they do the job

I would love a Tundra though and run over lil granny cars
