Hi there

So a mixed bag on reviews.

Those who have orders locked in and were set on a V6 manual, have the array of reviews made you consider cancelling your order or changing over to an AMG powered car?

I am somewhat tempted to see if I can change my order to an i4 AMG base car and I will keep flying the V6 flag and keep my Exige alongside it. smile


I have heard Chris Harris thinks the V6 is awesome and his review airs in this series on Top Gear and potentially this Sunday, if Harris says its the next best thing will be interesting, I think he tested the white 007 VP car, was that on Cup 2 tyres and sports suspension can anyone remember?

The studio has a green car, not sure if they drive this on the road or not though, this Sunday should reveal. smile

Why should the DCT have significantly more parasitic losses than a manual then?
It is totally not an issue, you'd never notice it.

What you will notice is the shorter ratios and quicker shift, so with DCT 360HP will feel more like 400+ HP. Hence why the DCT is 4.2s VS 4.3s for the V6.

The 400HP DCT car in China is like 3.8-3.9s so it is fair to say the AMG DCT with 450HP will be around 3.5s tuned.
