Love these, you need to post up a clip of it being opened up on a 0-60 sprint.

I have been looking at one of these for a while. How does the 6.1 compare to the cheaper 5.7?

Can you give us an idea of service cost? Are things like disks and pads expensive? Are they in the hundreds or in the thousands?

School me!

Been thinking about a GC V8 and need help with the man maths.

Oh yes - pre-turbo and cutouts 0-60 https://youtu.be/aSV9vAWNjUk

Cutouts open and closed idle https://youtu.be/_2AiX7UbkY8
More idle with cutouts https://youtu.be/keMeifgHDT4

Can't see the appeal at all I'm afraid. Presume it would get left for dead if any corners involved? Each to their own though

At nearly 45p a mile in fuel alone on a daily driver, I hope you have a hefty stake in the oil sector

Not as bad round corners as you may think - some of the guys in the States do track days around Circuit Of The Americas, what they lack in the corners they make up for in the straights

My daily commute is 14 miles round trip - so not buying by the barrel yet... Not that most people on here are concerned with MPG

I had a Raw Striker kit car that would do 0-60 in c.5 seconds. One of these absolutely rinsed me off the lights once. Very humbling! Now I have a much better idea why! Didn't realise they could be so fast.

Tbh you answered about brakes, but if you know which suspension bits are upgraded over the smaller engined cars that'd help.

I quite often see this going in the opposite direction when I'm on my way to work in the morning. Had no idea it was 'famous' or quite that FA57!

Black Audi TTS. I assume it's normally in quiet mode when I've gone the other way as I've never noticed it being loud!
