How the F did that happen? Hope you're better from it!
On the Gumball, overtaking a porsche 911 that was overtaking a queue of cars at about 140mph, rear left went light and he spun off the road and rolled several times on the Gumball. Driver walked away.....

Its actually remarkably civilsed on the road! Its ride is far far better than my R34 GTR for example! The twin plate clutch is also much easier to use than on the Skylines which I STILL can't get used to after 2 years! The engine is a real pussy cat off boost and its great on fuel when you are not booting it around.....

But yes you are right, you can't really drive that around everywhere as you would look a complete Tool!!!!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, glad you like her.

I will post some more photos when I can

The interior ones are really funky!

oh yes... thats me! It wasn't the actual gearbox.....

it was just the Gearbox casing, the centre diff, and the rear diff that I managed to break in one ENORMOUS and very clumsy launch paperbag

Nice... then I took my R34 GTR to trackday and Brands last week and the Turbos died...

My other cars are not being touched until I have been excorcised... or I buy a tank

Think I've seen this car at a few events - massive, massive fan. First grade lunacy laugh

Is it the same one that's in the Compomotive catalogue?

Yes, its the same car in the Compomotive Catalouge. They used this picture.



This picture was in a previous Compo Catalouge as well



I took it out at the weekend. I hardly ever drive it on the road.... and I remember why now. Its geuinely frighteningly fast!!!!

I also have a DMS tuned 996 Turbo... its a very fast car by anyones standards. My mate was driving that, I was in the Shonky Sierra... and now its got the new smaller Turbo the Sierra simnply drives away from it in 2nd and 3rd gear like the Porsche has a broken engine or something.

Its very very funny....

My dad also has a DMS'd 996 turbo s,also a RS500 sierra with chip. Comparing these two is fairer than comparing your sierra and 996. That sierra is a very special car with 10's and 10's of000's spent. If you did similar to your porsche I imagine the sierra would be left for dead.

Love that sierra alot though!

Your dad has great taste smile

Sierra has had a fair bit spent on it yes... but a 996 Turbo tuned by DMS is hardly a cheap bit of kit!

I like them both in different ways I guess.
