Panama Canal vs Gen-F
Discussion
Comparing the Banana GTS to this is a little unfair as the E series in standard form is no where near the Gen-F, the mods I had done on the E series made it get up and smile (ask Paul), the handling on the E series was a big step up on the old VXR8 like my S but this is now a proper car IMHO and feels as quick as my old S with a very smooth power delivery which keeps you well alert (you will be in the poop if your not), clutch and gearbox are great with the steering a little heavier, Its so well planted on the road and you never seem to be in any trouble.
The brakes are mind blowing and give massive confidence which you need as it fly's, if feels like it's got a lot more than 577bhp.
If I was honest with myself it does not need any more power but.....................Simple answer "why not", if you can you will.
Heads up display is great and all the other electronic gismo's are fab if that floats your boat.
Window switches on drivers door is a big plus I find as it's the same as the Amazon, never have been a lover of electronic handbrakes but I will get used to it.
Best car I have ever owned without a shadow of a doubt, a couple of moans......Sat Nav to me is not straight forward, calipers are a b/stard to clean but my best moan which took a while to work out is the reverse camera which would work better if the silly Kangaroos had fitted it in the right way round (I know my reg number) Hahahaha, have not sorted that yet as I want to find out which way round the clips are and don't want to break it.
Love it in White and I think this is a keeper for me for a fair while, lets just hope they don't build a better one. Haha.
Upgrades...............................well yes as it would be rude not to after all, as soon as WP get the right package I will be dropping it off, just can't help myself when it comes to BHP and Torque and after all someone has to be the Ginny pig.
As with any thing I type please excuse the smelling mistakes.
P.S. You need to drive this beast to find out for yourself, others may have differing views but for me it fits and works very well.

Dougie, the beard I had to grow while watching the Salomn zig-zag it's way around the worlds oceans I can shave off but what about the Captains hat, binoculars and 36 packs of Tum Tum tablets I purchased, who is going to reimburse me for all that lot.
Hope you little legs and feet are not tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sore. I see the Vespa got clamped.
