Bought an '06 CV8 the other day and I love it! Refined and surprisingly economical on a motorway run, big fun on the twisties.

It takes 37 muscles to produce a frown, only one right foot to make me smile!! (As a bonus my 2 boys think their Dad is well cool, for the first and probably only time ever).

It will be a daily driver and 15k+ miles per year so I'm gonna leave it alone, tempting tho' all the bolt-ons are...

By way of justification, a remap will make the car more responsive AND more economical (by about 2mpg)
And the road response pack will improve the handling and balance of the car and includes a 4 wheel alignment which will save you a lot of tyre wear. ( they are all way way off)

Ever since I had my supercharger I have gone from an average of 16 mpg to 19.7mpg - well worth the cost imo.

Welcome! Only a few months into ownership myself and can honestly say it gets better the more you drive it. Tunnels n underpasses will be your new home just to hear that sound!

Sounds like you need the 12psi pulley Alan, what with all that money you are saving on the fuel
