Done a run yesterday, managed 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. Looking forward to seeing what it does 1/4 at GTI International, late 11s would be cool.

That's pretty damned good Amar, approaching the realm of motorcycles there

Amar, why can't you be a K**B so I can hate you?

SOOOOO jealous but so happy to see someone driving their dream who isn't an arse. I have to sample this at somepoint, if only to mutter from the passenger seat that it still isn't as quick as a bike .

Thanks, Bill! Honestly, the car is insane. It feels like you've been shot out of a massive slingshot when you step on it, it hurts passenge's stomachs. I had a motorbike step on it and I was level from 70-110 then I pulled away hard, he then pulled in behind me and flashed his lights. Not sure what bike it was though. When I drove Darren's W12, it felt very slow, which of course, it isn't! I'll take you for a spin and show you what a stabbed rat must feel like at the next meet.

Adrian, Tesco Moumentum 99 is regarded by most on SRS as the best fuel and rated much higher then V Power. Throney Motorsport done a test with that vs V Power and T99 came out much better. Also, MRC have had cars on 95 RON on their dyno then they put in T99 and they get about 20 BHP more.
I have been rocking BP 97, but manages to squeese in £97ish of T99 today, tanker was just leaving with 'Moumentum' written on the side of it as I entered the petrol station.
Hi Amar,

Nice figures and a lovely looking car. You have had it a while now, must be time for a change

Just a quick word about Momentum, it contains quite a high proportion of biofuel (ethanol) which is great for making power but can cause chaos with internal engine components, notably rubber seals.

Someone correct me if I am talking but I did a lot of research on fuel a year or so back.

A topic which creates a great deal of debate!.

Hi Wayne, brief post as out in the Florida Keys at the moment. But all fuel has ethanol in it now, even V Power!
