Having my first play with one of the above this week (mix of day to day use and a go on a private track over a week of use).

Any owners have any dos and don'ts for the trial? I'm used to RWD cars with the same (maybe even slightly more) power but nothing quite that fast before.

erm.... so it's gone back. After a week (and many launch controlled starts) here are my thoughts;

- It's very very fast.
- It isn't in any way pretty, even ugly to some but it has presence and is very imposing.
- Love the mechanical sound and feel to it.
- Probably my favourite V6 currently in production, certainly the best sounding.

I was kind of expecting it to be like Jap cars I've driven before; fast, good to drive but lacking in interior quality and just not having the same quality feel as zee Germans but I've been blown away.

It's more economical than the recent F-Type R I've had, is bearable in comfort mode, is a joy to drive hard; the RWD bias even likes to try to push the back if you push too hard which was more than I was expecting from the AWD system.

..... back into a 4 cylinder diesel for a few weeks.... sadface...
