Hi all,

I had a top end engine rebuild about 3500 miles ago and am now just starting to take her up to 7000 rpm, I had completely forgot the power surge you get between 5800 rpm and 7000 rpm.... not sure why am I sharing this other than to say how mental the Speed 6 really is, it may have had its issues but when its good it really is good...

I currently have my car up for sale but after weekends like I just had, I really do question why....

Yup. I spend most of the time between 2000 and 5000. I still find it hugely entertaining when it swings over 5000 and really comes alive.

The engine is impressive, feels like a race engine and really suits the car.
