What is available for the 4.2 Cerb,and what are the gains to be expected from an ECU upgrade,or chip?
Is it more to do with how the power is deliverd or does it increase overall power,,your thoughts are welcome gents?

There are loadsa rolling roads, but make sure you get a 700bhp one minimum, just in case yours produces more than the factory spec!

Not overperforming, but the 4.2's from what I understand from Danny and Joo, are closer to their advertised spec.

Where as the speed 6 is kinda spot on and in some cases underspec'd.... hmmmm....

I still think the 4.5 has the best engine bay design out of the lot, its a sight for sore eyes...
You'd be forgiven for thinking theres two massive superchargers in those carbon boxes (I've gotten away with that one with quite a few youngsters, lol)....

Funny this news about cerberas not being made anymore, I've had 3 guys already just out of the blue come up to me and say "I heard they've scrapped your engine" (boy do I wish I had my knuckle duster in my pocket so I can just lay it once with full throttle on the bridge of their nose (wa***ers taking the piss, major piss off!)...

Jealousy is a tragic thing ,dont let em bother you mate, we are now members of a club which will one day be a classic design,and im extremly proud to have bought into a piece of British engineering,seen as we manufacture F**k all else!

Has any one here had their Cerb chipped?
