Good to see the 165 staying shiny side up Andy .

Shouldn't you have let the good lady have the one helmet though?

Holy crapola! Now imagine it with the new 605PS S8+. Barely half a second behind a 911 Turbo is some going for a two-ton monster.

Was this the 'ordinary' S8, not the plus?
64-foot time in 2.01sec, amazing! That's 0.99g
I find it so weird that the S8 felt so different to the Tesla at the annual meet, its only a difference of 0.99g vs 1.2g but felt so much more
