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

that is crap the v-spec is deffently a great mill but not the quickest. it is the best engine ever tested.

nova p5

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.
