Much like. smile best colour too!

Mods or standard?
Just a remap and an intake.

It's at the wheels. With a 30% drivetrain loss that works out at about 270kw at the engine...

That's great - you must be very pleased.

How fast do you estimate?

Cheers. Thanks for the kind words.

Off the line not that quick as the K04 turbo takes a while to spool up. from about 2500 rpm in third and fourth gear very, very quick.

Non-clinical trials so cannot be verified, but 5.2 0-100 has been timed. The third shift at 95 spoils the time a bit.

The wealthy bogans in FPVs and HSVs have a good run sometimes. But the nature of my car means that I pull them in from about 80 odd but that's getting a bit quick for the road, but powering out of roundabouts I have all bases covered.

I do the Newcastle Link Road most days. 90 speed limit and about 4 good roundabouts. It's fun along there.

Poor bogans in VN 'dores with VT bodykits don't stand a chance. What's funnier is bogan-ettes in Kia Rios who try and race me...

I was wondering if some people would actually know what it is!

I'd race you! Hahahaha

Spotted this Ferrari 250 Cal earlier today on Cedric Street just off Mitchelle Freeway. Also saw it 2 months ago in Barbagallo Ferrari's service bay so presuming its real. Look genuine and sounded amazing?

Grey TVR possibly a Sagaris, on Pacific Highway Turramurra this morning around 9:00. I saw it stopped at a BP station and feared the worst, but evidently it was just a fuel stop.

Corvette Z06 parked at Manly seafront yesterday - plate number...

C4RBON

Managed to reverse park it into the space so as a pedestrian you got the four-exhaust-pipes-and-huge-back-tyres view. Very noice.

Bloody hell - I spotted a dark blue one at Rushcutters Bay in Sydney on Saturday - more than one in the country!

I also spotted a yellow/gold Lambo gallardo performante getting photographed at said bay a few hours later...

Driving along Manly ocean front this afternoon saw a Ferrari 438 in red with red rims. Looked all twinkly and tinsely. Then, 200 m later was a burgundy XJS V12 and at that moment I knew I was old. For all my intense dislike of auto gearboxes and never a fan of the XJS shape, I just much preferred the idea of wafting in the Jag to trying too hard in the Ferrari

one does like to waft- I am thinking myself of a supercharged 4.2 XJS
