well considering the V-Spec was tested to be the most powerful .21 u can get... i'd say that and its cheaper than your Rossi or any trinity distributed engine for that matter

Go for the RB WS7 2.
It is just what you need for a tight twisty track with its amazing bottom end power.
I have heard the OS VZB V-Spec is quick but have never tested so couldnt comment.

the spec is good for the track you are going on. but personally the RB S7 is a little more of what you would want. the P5 is just too much bottom end. i run all of these and the P5 is a great power house but a little much at the bottom. the S7 is more low mid and has the high for the straits when you need it. it will keep a tune great.

Alex has informed me that after taking his V-Spec out for a spin at the weekend that he feels the P7-R has more poke to it low down. Also the track you run on go (chris) is long and sweeping gravel/mud, a few twists but not many. The clue is the 5 laps/tank you get. In his opinion the P7-R is a better engine for the Swindon track.
