I remember when I got my first really powerful car, a 2007 V10 Audi S6. I put my foot down along Portland Street in Manchester City Centre and the girlfriend shrieked!
I didnt think it would be that much faster than my 350Z but it is, I think part of it is the auto gearbox and not feel as in control, hoof it, it has a think then it launches itself at the horizon and you hang on, just been out in it now and give it some stick as its been so wet or I have been carrying the family so have just been ambling round.

Had the front wheels off to do the pads but they still have quite a lot of life left so left them, but I cleaned the calipers and disk bells and gave them a coat of vht silver paint, looks pretty good, cleaned the front wheels front and back then polished, cleaned the front wheelarch liners, looks a lot better, will do the rears tomorrow if the weather is ok.

Cant imagine how quick the newer, AMG/M/RS german stuff feels, must be borderline terrifying.
