Question Are MG6s faster than ZT 1.8Ts or is mine an exception?

A question I need to ask.

The more I drive my mg6 the more I smile it just loves to be driven I agree it seems to be more lively than the ZT without having to floor the accelerator peddle 4th gear is just amazing seems usually run out of road before running out of revs handling is as you expect for a mg as well best buy out there can pick them up at bargain prices

A lot less weight in the 6 will make it feel more lively.

When I enquired about a remap I was told it was withdrawn due to not meeting EU emissions but on a plus they said ring back later in the year so maybe there might be one on the cards so I've opted for a free flow exhaust from Tony banks instead 😀

Please post up your thoughts when you get it done. If the improvements are anywhere near what they claim it should be very noticeable.I'm looking to do the same along with a sports cat.
